Diagnosis

The wings are a warm pinkish grey-brown with a scattering of black scales. There are indistinct punctate black postmedials, that of the forewing strongly curved basad to the costa distal to a large black discal spot. This postmedial has a diagnostic pale yellow patch adjacent to it on the distal side at the dorsum. Some of the other black dots of the postmedial also can be associated with yellow distad in both fore- and hindwings. There is a stronger row of black dots in the spaces on the margins of the wings.
