There are elongate-oblong costal spots at the base, one-third, beyond the middle, and the apex and there is a narrow irregular oblique subbasal fascia from or beneath the first costal spot to the dorsum. Oblique irregular bars are found in the disc from beneath the second and third costal spots, each appearing formed of two confluent spots of which the lower projects posteriorly, the second of these reachingthe tornus. There are slight irregular marks from the extremities of the fourth spot to the termen. The hindwings are grey.
