The markings are ferruginous, mixed with black towards the tornus. The hindwings are dark grey brown, strigulated (finely streaked) with yellow ferruginous and brown in the apex area.

Etymology

The species name refers to the shape of the signum and is derived from Greek phloioi (meaning to swell).[1]
