The costal edge is white from near the base to near the apex and there is an oblique irregular dark fuscous streak from the middle of the costa reaching halfway across the wing. There are three very oblique black strigulae from the costa posteriorly, between the first and second a very oblique white streak reaching halfway across the wing. A suffused whitish line is found along the posterior part of the dorsum and termen, edged posteriorly above by a curved black streak. The apical projection is linear and upturned.
