Polyura hebe, the plain nawab, is a butterfly belonging to the brush-footed butterflies family (Nymphalidae).
Polyura hebe has a wingspan of about 65 millimetres (2.6 in). In these medium-sized, heavy-bodies butterflies the outer edge of the forewings is concave, with a pointed apex and the hindwings show two short tails. The upperside of the wings is greenish white. A broad dark brown apical border, wide at the apex, but decreasing in width towards the base of the costa, forms a wide internal greenish-white band. Also the hindwings show a broad dark brown border, with submarginal small white marks. The underside is brown and has a wide pale silvery-green median patch. The caterpillar is bright green and has a black four-horned head.
