Primaries pale dove-colour, clouded with brown from about the middle of the outer margin to the apex, and 
also partly along the inner margin, with four very fine zigzag lines crossing the wing from the costal to 
the inner margin and a marginal row of minute black dots, the latter extending from the apex nearly to 
the ana] angle; secondaries dark brown, palest at the base, with two indistinct zigzag dark lines crossing
