The female is less boldly marked than the male. The hindwings and the undersides of both sexes are plain brown, darkening toward the margins. The wingspan of both sexes is about 5 cms. The species is found in across south-east Asia and the western Pacific, including Australia in Queensland, and Norfolk Island.
