The forewings are fuscous with the submedian fold forming a whitish-ochreous groove towards the base, terminating in a small basal spot of raised whitish-ochreous scales, the median area forming a very indefinite ochreous-whitish band, the anterior edge running from about two-fifths of the costa to before the middle of the dorsum, acutely triangular-prominent above the middle and indented above and below this, on the lower half preceded by dark reddish-fuscous suffusion, the posterior edge from about three-fourths of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, undefined. Within this band are a semi-oval cloudy dark fuscous spot on the middle of the costa and a longitudinal blackish-fuscous sometimes interrupted mark in the disc, strongly hooked upwards at the posterior extremity. The posterior area is reddish tinged and finely irrorated with blackish fuscous, with a submarginal series of irregular brownish-ochreous triangular marks. The hindwings have a subdorsal groove. They are dark fuscous, somewhat lighter towards the base.''Transactions of the Entomological Society of London'' 1906 (2): 200
