Diagnosis.
There is some sexual dimorphism, with the male darker brown-grey
with a relatively narrower forewing than the female.
The postmedials are fine dark lines, and the medial zone has a slightly greenish
tinge. Within this zone on the forewing are two conspicuous white stigmata, the
orbicular double and the reniform an archipelago of four disparate spots
separated by narrow brown lines.
