The first discal stigma is blackish.

In females, these markings are hardly traceable, but the second discal stigma is distinct. There is a more or less developed streak of fuscous suffusion along the termen, which is faint in females. The hindwings are whitish ochreous, faintly fuscous tinged towards the apex and on the termen. There is a grey discal dot on the end of the cell.''Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society''. 22 (4): 772.
