The species is sexually dimorphic, both sexes being distinctive. Males have most of the forewing a rosy fawn, with the reniform and a subapical patch picked out paler; the dorsum is broadly slaty blue-grey with a white streak at the interior of this zone at two thirds. Females have the forewing longitudinally streaked with dark brown, fawn and cream, with the reniform ringed cream.
