The forewings are whitish rosy, somewhat mixed irregularly with pale grey and with a grey dot in the disc before the middle, a second on the fold rather obliquely beyond the first and a third rather larger dot in the disc at two-thirds. There is a series of very obscure grey dots from the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards, abruptly curved around in the disc at five-sixths to before the anal angle. The hindwings are very pale whitish grey.[3]
