There is also a rather narrow subbasal fascia and a moderate irregular-edged median fascia not quite reaching the dorsum, as well as an irregular incurved fascia from the costa at five-sixths to the dorsum before the tornus with anterior angular prominences above and below the middle, and others posteriorly above the middle and near the dorsum. The hindwings are pale ochreous.
