There are also three elongate plical dots, becoming larger posteriorly. There is also a larger oval spot in the cell in the middle of the wing and three subapical dots, as well as a row of eleven marginal dots. The hindwings are glossy light grey fuscous, the basal fourth as far as the lower edge of the cell whitish.[3]
