There is a white spot on the dorsum beyond the middle. It is irregularly edged with blackish. There is also a straight oblique dark fuscous streak from the apex of the wing towards this spot. The hindwings are semitransparent grey whitish, the veins and a terminal suffusion grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in October.[3]
