There is a short dark streak at the subbase centrally and the costa is fuscous at the extreme base, almost straight and brownish orange. The first discal stigma is found at the middle, the plical obliquely below the first, and the second at the end of the cell. There is a series of brownish fuscous dots along the posterior half of the costa and termen and the tornus is suffused with brownish scales. The hindwings are grey.
