The forewings are pale greyish ochreous with the costal edge suffused fuscous on the basal third, reddish brown on the median third, then suffused dark grey around the apex, the costal third irregularly suffused light red brownish to the end of the cell. The second discal stigma is small and grey, some irregular greyish clouding between this and the dorsum. There is a curved series of blackish-grey dots from beneath costa at two-thirds to the tornus.
