There is a blackish dot towards the costa near the base. The discal stigmata are small and dark fuscous, the first with a similar dot obliquely before and above it connected by a fuscous cloud, and with a more conspicuous blackish dot obliquely above and beyond it. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.[2]
