There is a suffused black spot on the fold at one-fifth. The stigmata are faintly indicated and there is a fine slightly interrupted white subterminal line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, angulated in the middle. An oval black spot is found near the costa before the apex, and a short black dash above it. There is also a clear white dash towards the apex, with several indistinct short whitish marks between this and the tornus more or less indicated, and a black dash before the termen in the middle. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
