    Male have a single large buff hairtuft in HW space 1a.Abdominal hairtufts uniform brown.
    UnF median band broad, redbrown and merging with the postdiscal band.
    Postdiscal band solid brown without a colour break in the middle.

    This gives a distinct appearance with the outer half of the wings dark red-brown.
