The stigmata are dark purple fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal and with some darker suffusion above the first discal stigma. There is a triangular undefined spot on the middle of the costa where a streak runs to the second discal, and a curved subteriuinal line before the apex and upper part of the termen.
