It is similar to Dahira taiwana but the forewing upperside has a stronger and more contrasting pattern of transverse lines, with diffuse pale yellow patches in the distal half, and in the orange colour of the hindwing upperside being restricted to a large central patch, surrounded by very dark brown on all sides.
