There is a small spot on the dorsum at one-fourth and the plical and first discal stigmata form large roundish sub-confluent spots, the plical posterior, the second discal forming a small round spot, an additional similar spot before and slightly above this, and an indistinct dot beneath it. There is also an almost terminal series of large cloudy dots. The hindwings are light grey, somewhat darker posteriorly.[2]
