There is a quadrate white spot in the end of the cell. The postmedial line is defined by grey on the outer side, with two dentate white marks below the costa, strongly excurved between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to below the angle of the cell, then excurved again. The hindwings have traces of a discoidal spot. The medial line is excurved between veins 5 and 2, and slightly defined by grey on the outer side.[3]
