The forewings are pale fuscous, finely and closely irrorated with white, with a few scattered black scales and an elongate black mark on the middle of the costa, and short fine black strigulae on the costal edge near before and beyond it. There are also some small groups of black specks on the termen. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled anteriorly.[2]
