The stigmata are blackish, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal and there are two transverse series of dark grey dots, the first from beneath the costa at two-fifths very obliquely outwards, sinuate-curved around in the disc at three-fourths to beneath the origin of vein 2, then towards two-thirds of the dorsum, the second from four-fifths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, rather strongly sinuate inwards beneath the costa, then rather strongly curved outwards. There is a marginal series of black dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
