Females have a somewhat more reddish tone in the brown ground color and darker markings compared to males. Wing margins are slightly scalloped, and the forewing is slightly indented below the apex. The tegula has a pale gold apical fringe made up of several large, metallic scales. The middle of the thorax and anterior abdominal tergites are broadly greyish-clay in color. A few racket-shaped white scales are present on the upper side of the abdomen. The upper side of the forewing is shaded brown in both sexes, and males are only slightly paler than females. On the underside of the forewing, there is a submarginal line that runs parallel to the distal margin. The upper side of the hindwing has a fringe heavily marked with black, while the underside of the hindwing has a brown marginal band. This species is found in Nepal, north-eastern India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, southern China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Peninsular Malaysia.
