Forewings, costa strongly arched at base, apex round-pointed, termen straight, oblique ochreous-whitish with scattered fuscous scales; a rather bright ochreous mark in disc above middle from 1⁄3 to 2⁄3; sometimes a similar but more obscure mark below middle; the fuscous scales sometimes tend to form lines on veins : cilia whitish-ochreous with two darker lines.
