There are some raised scales in the disc about one-fifth, and towards the dorsum before the middle. There is also a small black spot towards the costa before the second costal spot. The stigmata are black, the discal approximated, the second larger, the plical obliquely before the first discal. The subterminal line obscure and whitish-green, from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, somewhat sinuate inwards on the upper half. Two blackish dots are found on the costa towards the apex and termen beneath the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
