Similar to Marumba juvencus (EL), but the lines of the forewing and the ground colour of the hindwing are more reddish and the lines on either side of the weak discal spot hardly converge, whereas they converge distinctly in M. juvencus. Forewing underside with tornus suffused with rufous; unlike situation in M. juvencus and M. tigrina (EL) the apex is not dark brown. Hindwing underside with lines much less sinuous than in M. juvencus and M. tigrina.
