The forewings are pale ochreous-yellow beneath the fold, while the basal portion above the fold and extending along the costal margin as far as the middle is dark brown with a faint purple tinge. All the veins and veinlets are dark brown, while the cell and the spaces between the marginal vienlets, and between the median and sub-median veins are pale ochreous-yellow. The course of the fold towards the dorsal margin is also faintly marked with brown, the apex is brown.
