The forewings have a fuscous subbasal mark on the inner margin and an antemedial oblique line. There is a discoidal lunule and the postmedial line is oblique from the costa to vein 2, where it is retracted to the angle of the cell, then oblique to the inner margin near the antemedial line. The termen is fuscous. The hindwings have a discoidal bar and the postmedial line is oblique from the costa to vein 2, where it is retracted to the angle of the cell, and reaching the inner margin near the tornus.
