There is a cloudy V-shaped dark brown streak resting on the costal prominences, the apex in the middle of the disc, immediately followed by a raised snow-white dot. There is an indistinct fine dark brown dentate-curved subterminal line and dark brown marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, tinged with grey towards the termen.
