The outer margin and cilia are lighter golden yellow. The hindwings have an intensive dark suffusion, which is especially wide on the outer margin, the discal spot and the well-marked postmedial fascia.
Adults have been collected from the end of March to the beginning of April at altitudes ranging from 1,500–1,600 metres (4,900–5,200 ft).
