==Description==<br />
The male brand is as in ''Mycalesis visala''. But the wings are not so pointed. In underside, the ocelli are smaller and never quite developed. In the dry-season forms, the lower ocellus on the fore-wing below shows up as a very prominent white spot. The <br />
white discal line is much diffused outwards.<ref name="Evans">{{Source-attribution|sentence=yes|{{cite journal|last1=Evans|first1=W.H. |author-link=William Harry Evans|title=A list of Indian butterflies|journal=The Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society|date=1912|volume=21|issue=2|page=569|url=https://archive.org/stream/journalofbombayn21121912bomb#page/569/mode/1up|accessdate=3 May 2018}}}}</ref><ref name=Talbot2>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/FaunaOfBritishIndia.Butterflies2/talbot2#page/n161/mode/2up/|title=Fauna of British India.
