The forewings are fuscous more or less irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish and with a rather broad whitish streak above the middle from the base narrowing to a point at the apex, edged above and beneath by blackish lines, somewhat incomplete and interrupted, and cutting into a streak before the apex, the streak also contains a short blackish longitudinal line near the base and there is a fine blackish line on the fold. The hindwings are pale-grey, darker towards the apex.
