There is a short oblique irregular greyish-ochreous streak from the edge of the greyish-ochreous half on the end of the cell and a light ochreous oblique line from the costa at four-fifths to the greyish-ochreous area. A small light grey spot is found on the termen above this area and there are three black marginal dots around the apex. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
