It is widespread from India, Sri Lanka to Africa and to Australia and many Pacific islands.

In the adult, the head, thorax and forewings are pale violaceous grey. Hindwings with large orange area. Marginal black area reduced and the two orange spots conjoined. Ventral side black on forewing reduced to two bars, and that on hindwing also much reduced.[3]
