White in ground colour; vertical and orbital markings brown; coronal suture dark brown; frontal suture bordered with a narrow brown band dorsally; frons with pair of pale brown bands medially, and with pair of blackish brown spots laterally; gena almost white except ventral and dorsal margins brown; eye black, small, IO/D = 1.5; ocelli white, ocellar field black; antennal socket bordered with broad brown band; postclypeus with c. eight rows of blackish brown spots, fused with each other ventrally, forming a large circular marking, lateral region white; anteclypeus brown. Antenna pale brown, pedicel and scape darker. Mouth parts pale brown; 4th segment of maxillary palpus brown.   
 Thorax. Prothorax brown. Mesonotum pale; anterior surface of anterior lobe of scutum brown, anterior margin of anterior lobe brown and with pale brown marking posteriorly; anterior margin of scutellum blackish brown; postnotum pale.

Proximal band narrow, its outline indented, broadly interrupted just beyond fork of M + Cu. Median spots sparse, some spots fused with each other. Distal band narrow, faint in cell r 5. Spot on roof of cell m 3 broad. Submarginal spots apparent; spots in cells r 3 and r 5 larger than others, spot in r 5 largest. Marginal clouds apparent, darker in cells r 5 and m 1. Hindwing.

Hypandrium (Fig. 18C): left process conical, directed posteriorly, slightly sinuate, with small conical process dorsobasally; right process lamellate, apical margin serrated; median tongue constricted at basal third, apical margin denticulate, with shallow rounded notch, dorsal surface with semicircular keel covered by denticles. Phallosome (Fig. 18D): pseudoparameres broader than long, narrowly separated, apical margin rounded, postero-internal part with few denticles.
