16 mm. The forewings are black with strong purple reflections except on the broad dull edges to the markings. The markings are bright yellow. There is a rather slender semiclavate longitudinal median mark from beyond the base to one-third of the wing, its anterior end touching a shorter wedge-shaped parallel streak above the preceding. There is a streak along the dorsum from well beyond the base to before the tornus, containing a semi-oval spot of ground color on one-fourth of the dorsum. This streak is gently narrowed posteriorly, but on the middle of the dorsum dilated into a triangle with the acute top reaching the middle of the disc. There is also an elongate-triangular patch on the costa occupying less than its third fourth, the anterior edge little, the posterior strongly oblique, the top to the closing vein. There is a longitudinal stripe from the closing vein, below the middle of the wing, furcate posteriorly, a narrow line above and beyond it and another, shorter, below it. The hindwings are deep blackish brown with purple reflections. [2]
