There are small indistinct dark fuscous spots on the costa at the base and one-sixth and along the posterior half. There is also an irregular transverse dark fuscous blotch in the disc at one-third, a dot above the middle of the disc, and two transversely placed at three-fifths, as well as a terminal series of small indistinct dark fuscous spots between the veins. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly.[2]
