There are two dark points at the ends of the discocellular and the postmedial line is fine, dentate, well outcurved beyond the cell and preceded by a similar less distinct line. The termen is faintly tinged with brown and there are terminal dark points on the interspaces. The hindwings are hyaline opalescent white, with terminal black points on the interspaces.[2]
