The ends of this band on the very edge are white and there is a large, contiguous, metallic blue spot on the fold near the base and another similar one on the middle of the fold, neither reaching the dorsal edge. The apical half of the wing is deep golden yellow, which color sends a broad projection into the dark basal part on the middle of the cell.
