There is a thick black submedian streak from the base to the middle, attenuated to a point, a median streak attenuated at both ends from before the middle of the disc to four-fifths, and an oblique dash from above the apex of this to the costa before the apex. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly.[2]
