The forewings are whitish-ochreous densely irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous, sometimes mixed with white in the disc and with oblique blackish marks on the costa near the base and at one-fourth, and blackish marks on the fold obliquely beyond each of these, the second representing the plical stigma and edged posteriorly with ochreous-yellowish suffusion, which is sometimes extended along the fold. There are round black dots beneath the middle of the costa and in the disc at two-thirds, edged with ochreous-yellowish suffusion and there is also some ochreous-yellow suffusion towards the base of the dorsum, and towards the apex.
