There are undefined narrow brownish streaks between the veins towards the costa and posteriorly. The stigmata is blackish, with the first discal minute, indistinctly whitish ringed, the second discal whitish edged posteriorly, and with the plical larger, obliquely before the first discal. There is a suffused brownish spot beneath the second discal, touching the median stripe. The hindwings are pale whitish grey tinged with ochreous.
