The discal stigmata are very small, black, the second placed on the inner edge of a narrow transverse fascia of which the costal third is black, the discal is whitish, the dorsal rosy-ochreous and there is some indistinct rosy-ochreous suffusion towards the apex, as well as some groups of dark grey scales on the costa towards the apex.
