At the end of the cell is a faint blackish shade, hardly discernible as two small black dots and on the middle of the wing are two small, well-defined ocher-yellow dots, edged with reddish scales, one on each side of vein lb. The extreme dorsal edge is ocherous towards the base. The hindwings are yellowish white.^[2]
