The forewings are brownish-ochreous, more or less irrorated with fuscous and with the costal edge dark fuscous at the base and more or less suffused with dark fuscous towards the median third. Sometimes, there is a dark fuscous dot above the fold at one-fourth. The stigmata is dark fuscous, the plical slightly before the first discal, an additional dot close before and above the first discal, the second discal transverse, sometimes connected with the dorsum by a transverse patch of fuscous suffusion.
