Upperside of males and females: forewing maroon, with a very broad, oblique, preapical, somewhat diffuse, bright ochraceous band extending from costa to termen and along latter almost to the tornus; this band broader in the female than in the male. Hindwing brown, shading to dark maroon anteriorly.
The description of the upper surface of these insects notes a distinctive forewing pattern featuring a broad, angled orange-yellow stripe that varies in width between males and females. The hindwing coloration also exhibits a gradual transition from brown to deeper maroon towards the front.
