Diagnosis

The general colour is a dull medium brown, with a paler band incorporating the base of the hindwing, the thorax and the forewing costa, where it tapers to the apex, strengthened there by a whitish dash. This dash is continued posteriorly by an irregularly oblique postmedial consisting of an inner fine pale fascia and an outer, more broadly grey one. A similar but even more irregular postmedial occurs on the hindwing.

Geographical range
