There are two black marks on the basal portion of the costa and one on the base of the dorsum, as well as a black dot in the disc at one-fourth and an oblique black fasciate streak from one-third of the costa to the fold, with a subdorsal tuft of raised scales beneath this. There is also a small black spot on the middle of the costa and an inwards-oblique black blotch on the costa at two-thirds, reaching half across the wing. The hindwings are whitish, the posterior half suffused with light grey.[2]
