A creamy-ochreous dorsal streak occupies one-third the width of the wing and runs from the base through the tornal cilia. A small creamy-ochreous costal spot lies at one-fourth from the apex, and a few pale ochreous scales are visible at the base of the brownish-fuscous terminal cilia. The hindwings are grey.^[2]
