There is a blackish mark beneath the costa near the base and an oblique blackish mark from the dorsum at one-fourth, as well as an oblique transverse blackish-fuscous blotch representing the combined plical and first discal stigmata, a subtriangular spot representing the second discal. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
