Description


Its head, thorax and forewings are pale reddish brown. The collar and patagia are often streaked with black. Forewings with indistinct, waved antemedial line and a very much excurved postmedial line beyond the cell. A waved sub-marginal line is present. Orbicular is a speck and reniform is indistinctly dark outlined. Abdomen and hindwings fuscous black. Hindwings with three medial white spots, which may be disconnected and the costal spot obsolescent or conjoined into a band. A spot near center of outer margin. Cilia white at apex and outer angle. Ventral side ochreous white, irrorated (sprinkled) with black. Forewings with oblique crenulate postmedial line and broad sub-marginal diffused band. Hindwings similar, but with a lunule at end of cell and the line more irregular. Colours and spots can vary in subspecies.[3]

The larvae feed on Asparagus, Brassica, Dalbergia and Grewia species.[4]
