The adults of this species are brown, with a slight blue iridescence on the upper surface of each wing. There are two or three obscure black spots near the tornus of each hindwing.

Underneath, the wings are basically fawn, with arcs of outlined brown splodges. Each of the four wings has a black spot under the tornus. The butterflies have a wing span of about 2 cms.

They are found in the tropical north of Australia, including the Cape York Peninsula.
