The stigmata are darker, with the plical beneath the first discal. There is an indistinct shade of ochreous-whitish sprinkles from the costa at three-fourths to the tornus, indented beneath the costa. There are also indistinct darker marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
