There is a black oblique mark in the disc beneath the first of these, and a black longitudinal spot beneath the second. Three small brownish-ochreous tufts are found towards the dorsum from one-third to before the tornus and there is a small brownish-ochreous spot in the middle of the disc and another at two-thirds. There is also a transverse black spot in the disc towards the apex, preceded by two brownish-ochreous dots transversely placed. Three brownish-ochreous dots are found on the costa and two on the termen towards the apex, separated with black and with a more distinct small black spot at the apex. The hindwings are light grey thinly scaled towards the base, with the margins and veins suffused with darker grey.Ann. S. Afr. Mus. 17 (4): 282
