The discal stigmata are small and blackish, the second transversely double. In females, there is a suffused fuscous subtriangular spot on the dorsum towards the tornus touching the second discal. The hindwings are pale ochreous in males and pale grey in females, suffused ochreous-whitish towards the costa and posteriorly.
