The forewings are fuscous with the costal edge whitish ochreous and with a very obscure darker oblique spot in the disc before one-third, partially edged with some whitish scales, the lower extremity representing the plical stigma. The discal stigmata is indicated by a few whitish scales and there is a slightly bisinuate very obscure darker fuscous line from a spot on the costa at two-thirds to the dorsum before the tornus, accompanied by a few pale ochreous scales. There are also some indistinct darker dots on the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are fuscous.[3]
