Diagnosis

The forewings are a pale but rich brown with pale mauve-grey highlights, particularly along the distal margin (also on the hindwing, which has a darker brown spot at the inner tornal angle). All fasciae are fine, weak, irregular. The subapical costal mark is also pale grey on brown, enclosed in darker brown, and a thorn-like shape (or like a shark’s dorsal fin).
