There is a moderately broad ill-defined dark fuscous vertical fascia at two-thirds, marked with an ochreous spot in the disc, and terminating in a dark fuscous tornal scale-tooth. There is also a black discal dot at three-fourths, partly white edged. The costa is posteriorly spotted with dark fuscous. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
