The first line is found at one-fourth. It is pale and indistinct, outwardly toothed on the veins, followed by a deeper brown shade. The cell spot is round and black. The outer line is pale ochreous, from the inner margin at three-fourths to shortly before the apex, where it is acutely angled , runs inwards parallel to the veins for a short distance, and is again angled before reaching the costa. The veins within this line are all pale ochreous. The marginal area is brownish, above the anal angle with a patch of mixed ochreous grey, and blackish scales. The hindwings are darker brown, except along the costa, which is ochreous, freckled with brown and black.
