The stigmata are black, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, the second discal sometimes rather large. There is a small spot of blackish suffusion on the dorsum beneath the second discal and a row of cloudy blackish dots close before the posterior third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.
