Upperside dark olivescent ochreous-brown, with a very faint pale transverse discal narrow fascia, and distinctly paler marginal lines; both most apparent in the female.

Underside dark greyish ochreous-brown or fuliginous-brown; with a well-defined whitish transverse discal band, and marginal ochreous lines.

In some specimens, but rarely, there is a minute more or less complete contiguous ocellus between the middle and upper medians, and encircled within the pale outer line of the lower series.

Male, on the underside of the forewing, with an elongated glandular patch of ochreous yellow scales upon the submedian vein extending from its middle to the discal pale band; and on the hindwing, above, with a subbasal tuft of pale hairs exserted or overlapping a glandular patch of ochreous yellow scales.

Forewing with five very small ocelli disposed as in the ocellated brood, those of the female minute or anteriorly represented by white dots, the lowest one situated between the lower median and submedian vein being always present or indicated in both sexes.
