The first discal stigma is dot-like and black, the second represented by a roundish black spot resting on a transverse-oblong blackish dorsal blotch. There is a moderate semi-circular blackish spot on the costa rather beyond this and a row of cloudy blackish dots around the apical portion of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
