The forewings are ochreous brown, with scattered dark fuscous scales and a blackish streak irregularly interrupted and spotted with ground colour extending along the costa from the base to three-fourths. The stigmata are undefined, fuscous, with the discal approximated, the plical rather before the first discal. A streak of blackish irroration (sprinkles) runs along the termen, suffused with grey anteriorly. The hindwings are iridescent grey.[3]
