There are two pairs of very oblique dark fuscous streaks from the costa and the dorsum near the base and before the middle respectively, each pair meeting at a very acute angle, the first connected with the second in the disc by dark fuscous suffusion, the angle of the second extended as a blackish line to the termen beneath the apex. There are two white dorsal blotches between and beyond these streaks respectively, the second followed by a dot of dark fuscous suffusion. An oblique blackish wedge-shaped mark is found from the costa at three-fourths, edged with pink. The hindwings are blackish grey, thinly scaled towards the base. [2]
