Description
This species is larger than related species, with a forewing length of about 48 mm. The markings are whitish; the forewing lacks submarginal spots and bears a large transverse spot in the cell opposite to cellule 3, which reaches the front margin of the cell and is united with three long discal spots in cellules 2-—4; the discal spot in cellule 2 is very long, almost reaching the margin, but narrow, so that it only covers the anterior part of the cellule. The discal spots in cellules 1 a and 1 b consequently form a free hindmarginal spot, which almost reaches the margin, but is rather far removed from the base. The discal spots in cellules 6 and 8 are arranged almost exactly as in the other species. The transverse band of the hindwing is broad, almost reaching the base and the apex of the cell. A broad dark submarginal band is present in each of cellules 2-5, with two long whitish, somewhat irregular streaks.
