There is a single, black line with prominent tooth in the cell and slight inward bend in the submedian fold. The orbicular is a small round spot filled with the pale ground color and the renifom is medium-sized, lunate and pale centered. There are four or five minute dark costal spots between the reniform and the apex. There is a second single, dentate line with large inward loop below the cell to the base of vein 2, as well as a terminal dotted line. The hindwings are pale smoky with traces of a discal dot and a bent postmedian line, as well as a distinct terminal dotted line.[3]
