Description
- Forewings: ochreous whitish with irregular light grey sprinkling. There are small blackish sprinkles at the base of the leading edge (costa) and the inner edge (dorsum). A brownish line sprinkled with blackish is visible at about one-fifth from the base, and there is a moderate, slightly oblique brown band before the middle, darker toward the back. Minute black dots appear in the central area at the middle and at three-fourths of the wing. The leading edge is broadly dark (fuscous) on the posterior half, with some rosy-white sprinkles crossing near the apex.
- Hindwings: rather dark grey.
