The stigmata is moderately large and blackish, the plical slightly before the first discal, the second discal somewhat transverse. There is an obtusely angulated pale shade from three-fourths of the costa to dorsum before the tornus, preceded by a fascia of sparse grey irroration and the terminal area beyond it similarly irrorated.
