It is found in Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, Angola, the Central African Republic, the northern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and western Tanzania.[2] The habitat consists of lowland evergreen forests and sometimes gallery forests and coastal scrubland.

There is a triangular orange-red patch on the forewing contiguous with the orange-red basal area of the black hindwing, a marginal row of red/yellow spots and four pale spots at the tornus. The underside of the forewing is grey yellow with a peach-pink area extending from the disc to the dorsum. There are five or six rounded black spots. The very colorful hindwing has a whitish or reddish brown ground color with numerous black markings and stains so that it appears almost netted; the anal lobe is colored yellow on the edge.
