The forewings are light fuscous, slightly sprinkled with ochreous whitish and with some scattered black scales here and there on the veins, as well as a black streak along the submedian fold, strong on the basal half, attenuated posteriorly. There is a blackish mark beneath this at the base, a slender black longitudinal streak in the disc from before the middle to three-fourth, reduced to scattered scales posteriorly. There is a slender subdorsal streak of black irroration (sprinkles) from one-fourth to three-fourths. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[3]
