The basal area is suffused with black-brown and the antemedial line is double and filled in with white. The medial part of the costa has three very oblique wedge-shaped white marks filled in with black and there is a slight discoidal black point, as well as a black double postmedial line, filled in with white. There is some black suffusion beyond it and there is a subterminal black line, as well as a fine terminal black line. The hindwings are whitish, suffused and irrorated with brown and there are some slight black striae on the inner margin, as well as some blackish suffusion below the end of the cell. The postmedial line is white, defined on the inner side by a black line and on the outer by black suffusion.
