The forewings are rather dark fuscous, irrorated with whitish-ochreous points, with scattered blackish-fuscous scales and a short black subcostal dash from the base. There is a whitish-ochreous plical mark at one-fourth, edged with some black scales. The stigmata are indicated by obscure spots of blackish-fuscous suffusion, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, all followed by some obscure whitish-ochreous suffusion. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
