Appearance
The wingspan is 55–74 mm. This species is easily recognised by the upperside of the head and thorax having a broad, very dark median stripe that divides the pinkish grey background into two stripes. Fore wings with antemedial band much broader at inner margin. Postmedial band is black in color angled at vein 6, where it joined to subapical markings. Hind wings with yellow band broader and hardly constricted at middle. Ventral side has lines on hind wing rather more prominent.Naming
