There is a black dash in the disc before the middle, enclosed in a spot of dark grey suffusion. There is also a round blackish dot enclosed in a small spot of brown-grey suffusion towards the dorsum at one-fourth and several cloudy blackish-grey dots along the termen. The hindwings are pale grey, subhyaline and darker posteriorly.[3]
