There is a narrow black strip along the costal margin from the base to two-thirds. Ochreous spots are found at the base, at one-third and at two-thirds. The hindwings are grey. Adults are on wing in August.
Etymology
The species name refers to the wing pattern and is derived from Greek ochra (meaning ochreous) and stigma (meaning marks).[2]
