Allied to F. denudata, but differing greatly in important particulars, Fore wings are bright shining seal-brown, deep orange along the costa for the basal half. At the middle of the wing at base in a narrow denuded space, and the internal angle is also devoid of scales, but much more narrowly so than in denudata. The transparent space is golden yellow in shade. Lower wings transparent golden yellow, with very bright but dark opalescent reflection. The margin and spot at the extremity of cell dark brown. Antennæ bluish black, orange brown at the base. Head, disk of thorax, and the upper portion of the abdominal segements, black. Eyes black, palpi with black at their base. Front of head, collar, sides and base of thorax, posterior edges of abdominal segments bright orange. Feet and legs wholly orange without any black bands.
