Almost entirely fulvous with the exception of the usual Nymphicula black and white marbling but that is restricted to the distal area of the HW. There is no black and white marbling on the FW. The distal area of the FW has white-silvery patches and two small but distinct black spots near the apex. The HW termen has three large eyespots, the uppermost is double. The basal area of the HW is crossed by an incomplete silvery basal line.
