There is an obscure, moderately straight dark fuscous line from the costa to the inner margin. There is a dull whitish spot on the costa and an obscure fuscous discal spot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are greyish with a fuscous discal spot and a gently curved fuscous line from the costa towards the inner margin.[2]
