The space to the outer margin is brownish, containing a pale sinuous submarginal line. The hindwings have a faintly indicated discal line of blackish lunules. The space beyond is brown with a subterminal pale sinuous line as on the forewings.[3]
The larvae feed on Daemonorops grandis and Orania silvicola.
