The medial fasciae and cell-spots are darker buff and the subterminal fascia is dark brown. The outer margin is edged with orange buff. The hindwings are brownish white, sometimes with traces of a postmedial and subterminal fascia at the anal margin. The discocellular spot of the under surface is usually showing through the wing.[3]
