Adults are pale ochreous, the wings with indistinct ochreous specks and with some more conspicuous black specks, mostly along the exterior border. The veins are whitish and there is a whitish undulating line from near the tips of the forewings to a little beyond the middle of the interior border of the hindwings.[3]
