There is an elongate blackish mark on the costa beyond this and two dark fuscous dots transversely placed in the disc at three-fifths, as well as a nearly straight ochreous-whitish subterminal line at four-fifths, preceded by a fascia of rather dark fuscous suffusion. There are also some minute blackish terminal dots. The hindwings are light grey. [2]
