There is an irregular-edged suffused transverse dark fuscous patch from the dorsum beneath the second discal stigma, nearly reaching it and a cloudy curved interrupted grey subterminal shade from opposite the apex to the tornus. A series of small dark fuscous marginal dots is found around the apex and termen, sometimes little marked. The hindwings are pale greyish.[2]
