The plical and first discal stigmata are cloudy, dark fuscous, edged posteriorly with grey-whitish, the plical beneath the first discal, the second discal represented by a subtriangular cloudy grey-whitish dot. There is a subterminal series of small cloudy whitish dots from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, sharply indented above the middle. The hindwings are grey.
