A fuscous discal spot at one-third, followed by another at the end of the cell, with a plical spot below them nearer to the latter than to the former. A fuscous marginal shade extends along the termen and is broken into spots around the apex and at the base of the costal cilia. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
