A subterminal transverse, very inconspicuous, the pale fascia that ends anteriorly in a white dot and two subapical white spots are present on the forewing. This fascia is curved slightly inwards at each end.

Similar to the male, the female has a more prominent but very extensively angulated outwards in the middle hindwing termen. Upperside: The ground color is a paler, duller brown; the forewing's oblique band is pure white rather than cream-colored; the hindwing's subterminal series has six rather than seven black spots, the spots being larger and more distinct than in the male. Ground color on the underside is paler than on the upperside; markings are similar; on the hindwing, there is no sign of a subbasal band, and the middle two spots in the subterminal series are more or less obsolete. The antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen all match the color of the wings, with the exception of a white point at the tip of each antenna. Below the antennae, the palpi, thorax, and abdomen are paler and marked with white.
