There is a series of three blackish dashes along the fold more or less developed and a black dash more or less suffused grey in the disc beyond the middle, followed by another black dash whose apex meets a short inward projection from the centre of oblique blackish-grey lines from the costa and dorsum meeting in a curve, these lines are edged whitish anteriorly and preceded on the costa by a grey patch. The costa beyond this is dark grey, with two inwards-oblique whitish marks before the apex. There is also a round black apical dot. The hindwings are grey, subhyaline in the disc anteriorly.
