There is also a broad streak on the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle and a large oval outwardly oblique spot in the disc before the middle, its lower and outer end confluent with the dorsal streak. There is a large tornal blotch, connected with the costa at five-sixths and a suffused spot on the mid-termen, as well as a blackish terminal line. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous with a large pale fuscous apical blotch.[2]
