The stigmata are black, the first discal forming an oval spot touching a dot before it, the plical linear, obliquely before the first discal, the second discal moderate, tending to be linear. An elongate mark of dark fuscous suffusion is found on the costa above the second discal veins posteriorly tending to be streaked fuscous. There are also some small black angular dots on the termen.
