There is a bright red oval spot in the disc before the middle, edged beneath by an elongate sometimes interrupted snow-white mark, its anterior extremity enlarged and surrounded by scattered crimson scales. The second discal stigma is curved, transverse and indicated by obscure crimson edging. The hindwings are dark grey with the cell whitish grey, tinged posteriorly with rosy. [2]
