In the male the forewing dusted witli blackish in the basal area, there being further a broad black oblique band from the costal margin to the second median branch, behind the band a round spot as in the female, at the hinder angle an elongate spot, anteriorly 2 transparent subapical spots; the distal margin edged with black.
