There is a dark brown spot at the end of the cell and the outer half of the wing is brown with the veins whitish and two transverse white lines breaking the brown up into irregular spots. There are also some white longitudinal streaks between the veins on the outer margin. The hindwings are brown, but white at the base of the costal margin.
