Description
In 1960, Robert Herbert Carcasson wrote: "Male very similar to above (fulleborni), but white band very narrow in both wings. Female similar to above (fulleborni), but ochreous discal area of hindwing much smaller. Both sexes may be distinguished from all other species of the group by the very much darker underside."
