The second discal stigma is round, blackish and whitish-edged and there is an indistinct rather irregular ochreous-whitish line from two-third of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, edged with fuscous posteriorly. There is a series of dark fuscous dots around the posterior third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.^[3]
