Diagnosis. There is some sexual dimorphism, males having narrower, darker, less ochreous, more apically produced brown forewings than females, and also more narrow hindwings with a rather lobed dorsum (see generic description) and modified scaling. The forewings have a thin, transverse, black fascia running from just short of the tornus on the dorsum to the costa at two thirds. The wing is slightly paler distal to this, with some additional white highlighting in the male. There is an irregular row of black submarginal marks.
