The costal line on the forewings is brown or dirty white and the median transverse line is ochreous with two dark brown strongly pronounced spots. The subterminal transverse line is ochreous, with a small triangular spot on the costal margin. The hindwings are white, the outer margin with a thin ochreous line in the apical half.[1]
