The first discal stigma is small and black, the second minute and white. There is a narrow brown dorsal streak from about one-fourth to two-thirds and a strongly curved series of minute blackish dots from near the costa at three-fourths to the tornus. There are also three or four dots of blackish irroration on the lower part of the termen. The hindwings are whitish grey, becoming light greyish ochreous posteriorly.[2]
