The forewings are leaden grey, with three oblique vermillion-red blotches edged by dark brown red and then whitish, first on the base of the dorsum, the second from beneath the costa at one-fourth to near the middle of the dorsum, the third traversing the disc at two-thirds. There is an irregular-edged ferruginous line margined by pale ochreous running around the posterior two-fifths of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
