There are three undefined fasciae of dark fuscous suffusion, the first broad, from the middle of the costa to the dorsum before the middle, obliquely interrupted above the middle, the second narrow, from five-sixth of the costa to two-third of the dorsum, the third moderate, terminal, confluent with the second above the middle. The second discal stigma is dark fuscous. The hindwings are grey.[3]
