The forewings are whitish ochreous, strigulated with fuscous and dark fuscous irroration (sprinkles) and with a small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa, a short mark in the middle, another beyond three-fourths, and several dots between these. There is also a small blackish-fuscous spot on the fold at one-fourth.
