There is also a trace of another line in the cell, and a fair sized mark on the inner margin. There is a trace of two very short black costal dashes beyond the cell, followed by a black wedge-shaped costal mark. A bare trace of a black subterminal line is mainly noticeable by a fair sized black mark on the inner margin almost in the tornus. The hindwings are uniform white.
