The forewings are brown, in males slightly, in females suffusedly sprinkled with dark fuscous, especially in the disc and towards the termen, the costa suffused with dark fuscous, except towards the base, more broadly in females. The discal stigmata are obscurely indicated by dark fuscous suffusion, the second tending to be transversely double.
