The first discal stigma is small and white, with some dark fuscous scales, the second dark fuscous, preceded by pale yellowish suffusion. There is a small oblique suffused white mark on the costa at two-thirds, and some white irroration beyond this. A streak of blackish irroration is found between veins 2 and 3 and sometimes there is a subterminal series of cloudy blackish dots. There is also a cloudy dark fuscous terminal line or series of dots. The hindwings are ochreous whitish.
