Head and palpi dark brown sprinkled with gray. Primaries deep brown, somewhat paler in apical region where there is scattered ochreous scaling; two rather obscure whitish vertical streaks about the middle of the inner margin which in the middle of the wing connect with still more obscure oblique streaks from middle of costa which show a slight purplish metallic color; ocelloid region bordered by two broad metallic bars, more or less united above tornus; the contained area is slightly sprinkled with pale ochreous but contains no definite dark streaks ; apical area of costa with four short geminate white streaks, the first pair connecting with the inner ocelloid bar by a metallic streak, the middle pairs more or less joined basally by metallic scaling, and the outer pair giving rise to a metallic line which curves to outer margin and ends in a white dot; similar white dots occur at the outer ends of the ocelloid bars; fringes with a dark basal line, followed by a pale area and again darker outwardly, sprinkled with white scaling opposite the above mentioned white dots.
