There is a large dark fuscous tuft towards the dorsum before the middle and an oblique ochreous-white streak from the costa before the middle reaching half across the wing, between this and the base is some whitish suffusion towards the costa and there is an irregular-edged ochreous-white streak from 2/3 of the costa to just below the apex, broadened anteriorly by an extension over the cilia.
