There is a narrow indistinct dark fuscous inwardly oblique fascia before the middle and a black dot in the disc before this, and another at three-fourths, beyond which is an indistinct ochreous spot. There are four small equidistant black dorsal scale-teeth, the first at one-third and the fourth at the tornus, as well as a black costal dot towards the apex. The hindwings are light grey. [2]
