The forewings are gray whitish sprinkled with gray, sometimes sprinkled with blackish with pale ocherous streaks beneath the costa on the anterior half, in the disc throughout the cell, along the fold to near the extremity, and between the veins towards the costa posteriorly more or less developed, sometimes partially obscured or even imperceptible. There are cloudy dots of dark fuscous sprinkles on the costa near the base and at one-fourth, and beneath the fold at one-fourth, often imperceptible. The stigmata are blackish, often surrounded by pale ocherous, the plical somewhat before the first discal and the costa posteriorly and termen are sometimes obscurely spotted with dark sprinkles.[3]
