There are small irregular dark fuscous spots on the base of the dorsum, and beneath the costa at one-fifth and four small irregular dark fuscous marks in a straight series from the middle of the costa to one-fifth of the dorsum, sometimes preceded by a fascia of grey suffusion or partially connected by a streak. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal, sometimes indistinct, the second discal tending to form an oblique or bent mark. There is a somewhat angulated indistinct whitish subterminal line, anteriorly margined with more or less grey suffusion, indistinctly mixed dark fuscous on the costa and the dorsum, with beyond this some irregular dark fuscous suffusion towards the costa, the apex beneath this whitish-suffused.
