Adults are white, with the costa and outer margin of the forewings broadly yellow, the former dotted with black, the latter transversed by two series of black spots and bordered inwardly by a third series. There is an interrupted central band and a series of five black spots from this to the inner margin. The extreme base of the hindwings is black and there are a number of large black spots.[3]
