Above the wings of the Little Mapwing (fig.) are mostly whitish with narrow, brownish, wavy lines that run over the entire length of the wings, symmetrically with the abdomen and the outer wing edges, where they become ever more compressed.

As such, they form a thick brown border with thin grey and whitish lines. At the posterior part of the hindwings are some orangey patches. The underside is similar. It has white legs and pale green eyes. This individual was spotted at Cuc Phuong.
