Adults exhibit a vibrant ochre coloration, while their wings display small specks of red. The outer line is red, appearing as a straight and slanting mark that is clearly distinguishable. In the forewings, the submarginal line is red but lacks distinctness, almost fading away. The forewings have a slightly pointed shape and feature a hyaline (glass-like) basal dot. There is a faint, bent red line on the inside, while the outer line forks near the costa, incorporating a purplish spot in that region.[2]
