The forewings are pale orange, but paler, nearly white along the dorsal margin, and on the extreme costa beyond the middle. There is a narrow, indistinct, whitish line along the fold, ending at a small brown spot and there is also an oblique, narrow, whitish streak along the base of the costal cilia, continuous with the white of the extreme costa, and there is a short one along the base of the dorsal cilia. A minute brownish spot is surrounded by a pale ring at the end of the disc, and an oblique brownish streak in the cilia at the apex. The brown spots are all indistinct.[3]
