The forewings are bronzy-blackish with leaden-bluish-metallic markings. There is a streak along the costa from the base to near the middle, as well as four rather narrow transverse fasciae, the first at one-third, expanded on the dorsum as a suffused patch to the base, the second oblique, from the extremity of the costal streak to the dorsum beyond the middle, the third from a triangular white spot on the costa at two-third, slightly curved, confluent with the second on the dorsum. The fourth is terminal. The hindwings are blackish-fuscous.
