Description from Seitz

zenobia Leech (71a). Smaller than the previous species [A.childreni], particularly the hindwing less large. Shape and upperside almost exactly as in paphia; fiery reddish yellow, the male with black scent-streaks on the two median branches. The underside as in childreni, but the silverbands anastomose in several places. In North and West China and Tibet. — In penelope Stgr. the male has 3 scent-streaks instead of 2 on the forewing, and the female is shaded with dull greyish green nearly as in the valesina-female of paphia. On the Sutchou, in Amurland and North China. — The butterflies are on the wing in June and July, not being rare in the south and west of the distribution-area, but very rare in the northern districts, on the Ussuri (Doerries).
