There is a broad streak of dark-fuscous suffusion along the costa, as well as a short ferruginous streak from the base on the fold which is surrounded with dark-fuscous suffusion. The lines are cloudy, pale and edged with fuscous suffusion. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous, tinged with grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in February.[2]
