Vanessa tameamea is a medium-sized Nymphalid, featuring dark colouration with reddish orange markings. Unusual in the genus is the presence of sexual dimorphism, via a series of three small spots on the anterior forewing. These spots are typically white in females, and orange in males. Visually, this species appears intermediate between the ladies and admirals. The closest morphological relatives are Vanessa indica, and V. samani.
