The plical and first discal stigmata are represented by small white dots, the plical obliquely posterior, the second discal represented by a transverse-oval pale ochreous spot edged laterally with white in the middle and containing two minute blackish dots placed longitudinally. There is a white dot on the costa before three-fourth and there are some minute white dots on the apical part of the costa and termen separated by blackish irroration. The hindwings are grey.[2]
