The costa is narrowly dark fuscous on the median fifth, the costal edge whitish for a short distance on each side of this. There is an undefined narrow fasciae of fuscous suffusion from the costa at one-third to the dorsum at two-thirds, and from the middle of the costa to the dorsum at one-third, crossing in the middle of the disc. The discal stigmata are blackish. There is a fuscous transverse line, partially broken into small marks and angulated above the middle to the dorsum at three-fourths is found from the end of the dark costal median space.
