There is a large oval reddish-brown spot at the end of the cell, beyond which a distinct brown line crosses the wing. There is a dark brown spot close to the apex and the marginal line is black. The hindwings are dull brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin below the middle by a faint brown line. The marginal line is black.[3]
