The forewings also have a black spot at the base of the costa and some diffused black on the inner margin near the base, as well as an antemedial spot below the costa and a curved line from the median nervure to the inner margin and a black spot in the middle of the cell and the discoidal bar. The postmedial line is indistinct with a broad band of fuscous suffusion beyond it except at the costa. The hindwings have a slightly sinuous medial black line with a broad band of fuscous suffusion beyond it. [3]
