The forewings are indigo-blue suffused blue-blackish between the veins and with a broad very oblique suffused ochreous-white patch extending from beneath the costa anteriorly to beneath the posterior portion of the cell.

The hindwings are ochreous-white with a blue-blackish terminal fascia, around the apex occupying two-fifths of the wing, narrowed to a point near the tornus.
