Thorax has no stripe of any colour. There qppears to be a very faint dot visible on the forewing either side. White border to hind and forewing as in Prasincocyma (genus). Distinct white costa along forewing as in Prasinocyma undescribed species MoV1. Damaged but there is no clear slight process visible on the hindwing termen suggesting its not P. semicrocea.
