There is a narrow white costal streak from the base to near the apex and a white streak in the disc from one-fourth to the termen, attenuated to a point anteriorly, becoming bifurcate posteriorly. There is also a white streak along the submedian fold from the base to the torus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
