The stigmata are small and dark grey, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a curved subterminal line of irregular blackish-grey dots and a terminal series of small indistinct dark grey dots. The hindwings are whitish grey, somewhat darker posteriorly, the apical edge marked with dark grey suffusion and with a small cloudy dark grey spot on the costa beyond the middle.
