There is a fine white streak, posteriorly blackish-edged, from one-fourth of the costa to the median streak at two-thirds, produced along the costa towards the base, and an oblique white anteriorly black-edged streak from two-thirds of the costa towards the apex, not reaching the median streak, the costal edge between these suffused with white. The costa and termen towards the apex are suffused with black, except an apical white space. The hindwings are grey, lighter towards the base.[2]
