There is a broad undefined white subcostal streak from beneath the costa near the base to the costa at four-fifths and an oblique irregular blackish bar from the costa at one-fifth, reaching to the fold. There is also a black dot beneath the costa at two-fifths, one in the disc close beyond the bar, one on the fold before the middle followed by a ferruginous spot, one in the disc beyond the middle, one at three-fourths edged with white and one on the costa beyond four-fifths. There are also blackish dorsal scale-teeth before and beyond the middle, as well as a round blackish apical spot, preceded by a white costal spot. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]
