There is a costal streak from the base to the middle, attenuated posteriorly and a moderate postmedian fascia parallel to the termen, the anterior edge irregular and finely blackish-margined, strongly or only suffusedly connected on the costa with a moderate terminal fascia, sometimes almost connected on the tornus also. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly and with a darker transverse discal mark.
