There is a streak along the costa from one-fifth to before the middle and a subcostal streak from before the middle to the costa at three-fourths, as well as a median longitudinal streak from the base to three-fourths, the lower edge emarginate in the middle, the apex bent upwards. There is also a streak along the inner margin from one-fourth to near the anal angle and an elongate blotch along the upper two-thirds of the hindmargin, and a small spot on the anal angle. The hindwings are light grey.
