There are some black and whitish scales on vein 12 and a thick black medium longitudinal streak from the base to the end of the cell, obliquely interrupted before the middle of the wing, both sections edged posteriorly with white. There are streaks of blackish scales on veins 5 and 6, and some scattered blackish scales on the other veins posteriorly. The hindwings are grey.[3]
