The stigmata are blackish, partially edged with light greyish ochreous, the plical larger, obliquely before the first discal. The costa is somewhat suffused with pale greyish ochreous towards the middle and there is a suffused pale greyish-ochreous spot on the costa at about three-fourths, with faint traces of a curved transverse line rising from it.
