There is a fulvous-ochreous subcostal line from near the base to two-fifths, with a blackish dot beneath its extremity and a fulvous-ochreous line is found along the fold throughout, marked with two black dots, the second being the plical stigma and the discal stigmata are black, approximated, the first very obliquely beyond the plical, surrounded or almost connected with fulvous ochreous. There are short fulvous-ochreous streaks above each of these, and a slender irregular fulvous-ochreous streak near and parallel to the termen. The hindwings are light bluish grey. [3]
