The plical and first discal stigmata are deeper brown, faintly edged whitish posteriorly, the plical very obliquely anterior, the second discal dark fuscous, finely pale-edged. There are three costal and two terminal whitish dots towards the apex, the apical edge blackish between these. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
