The costal area is tinged with crimson anteriorly and there is an oblong dark fuscous patch occupying the dorsal two-thirds of the wing from near the base to two-third, followed posteriorly and above beyond the middle by some fuscous suffusion and dark fuscous irroration. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
