There is a broad rounded dark-fuscous dorsal patch from near the base to beyond the middle. The discal spots are dark-fuscous, the first discal at one-third, the second discal just beyond the middle, the plical included in the dorsal patch. A dark-fuscous subcostal line is found from the base to one-fourth and there are some dark fuscous scales on the postmedian veins. The hindwings are pale grey.[4]
