There is a fine dentate line curving outwards from the costa beyond the middle, and becoming parallel to the hindmargin at six-fifths. There are also traces of a median and inner line and there is a series of faint dots on the hindmargin. The hindwings are whitish, the hindmargin and apex ochreous tinged.[3]
