Males are white, the forewings with a greyish-black distal area, the edge of which is ill-defined. This area does not enter the cell and narrows posteriorly. There are five subapical white spots, the ones in 5 and 6 longer than the others. The costa and basal area are greyish-black. The hindwings have some black marginal spots, the posterior ones usually oblong and much larger than the others on veins 2-4. There is some greyish-black dusting at the base.
Females are greyish-black, the forewings with a series of seven indistinct whitish submarginal spots, the anterior three narrower than in the males. The hindwings have the inner margin to the cell and to before the angle white. There is a series of distinct submarginal spots.
