Forewing above bright orange-yellow to the base, in fresh specimens with rosy reflection; forewing above with black apical spot, 4 to 5 mm. in breadth, as far as vein 4 and then with very fine marginal line; discal dots 3 to 6 are free and placed in a straight line, almost vertical to the costal margin; hindwing above with sharply defined marginal band 1 to 2 mm. in breadth and discal dots which are not very distinct, often only showing through from beneath. Forewing beneath without black spot at the apex, but here whitish yellow with orange-yellow streaks on the interneural folds; hindwing beneath light grey-yellow with sharply prominent black dots and reddish spots at the base and between the veins and dots. The rainy-season form is smaller, less brightly coloured above, with dark tinge at the base and broader marginal band, not sharply defined proximally, on the upperside of the hindwing.
