There are some short scattered blackish-grey linear marks, the plical and second discal stigmata indicated by obscure dots, a clearer space in the disc between these and there is a series of cloudy blackish-grey dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey, darker posteriorly.[2]
