There is a faint sinuous medial line angled outwards beyond the cell and ending at the submedian fold. There is a rather more distinct subterminal line, excurved from below the costa to vein 2, then oblique and sinuous. There is also a terminal series of blackish striae. The hindwings are glossy white with a faint brownish shade beyond the cell and a slight blackish terminal line to near the tornus and a point at the submedial fold.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/annalsmagazineof941919lond#page/307/mode/1up ''Annals and Magazine of Natural History'' (9) 4 (23): 307] {{PD-notice}}</ref>
