The plical stigma is obscurely grey, followed by some whitish scales, the second discal transverse, dark grey. There is a suffused pale grey terminal patch, its edge rather convex, running from the apex to the dorsum about two-thirds, traversed by a grey sinuate subterminal shade. The hindwings are grey.
