There is a slender irregular blackish streak along the fold mostly edged with white beneath, and a similar longitudinal streak from the middle of the disc to the termen, a similar streak above the posterior portion of this, as well as a blackish longitudinal streak between these two towards the termen, and a subdorsal one on the posterior half.
