The forewings are black, crossed in the middle by a wide orange band, the apex tipped with white. The hindwings are black, crossed from the costal margin to near the anal angle by a yellow band tapering almost to a point. The underside is the same as the upperside. The head, thorax and abdomen are black.[2]
