It may have dark fine streaks, sometimes whitish-mixed. The basal patch has an angulated edge, and the central fascia narrows towards its extremities. Both are sometimes darker. A rounded triangular white or pale median dorsal blotch is sometimes replaced by a more elongate semi-oval, dark reddish-brown blotch. The termen is rather oblique. The hindwings are light grey. The larva is grey-whitish or dull greenish ; head pale brown or partly black ; plate of 2 whitish or brown [3]
