There is a narrow rather dark brown antemedian fascia rather inwards-oblique from the costa, dark fuscous towards the costa, beyond this, the costal third of the wing is dark fuscous and the median third rather dark brown. The dorsal third is irrorated dark grey with a projection into the brown area at three-fourth, including a black dot.
