The extreme costal edge is pale yellowish and there is a moderate roundish orange spot distinctly edged with minute black scales, in the disc beyond one-third. There is a second more ovate, on the fold below the middle, and a third more suffused beyond the middle, both tending to be suffusedly edged with minute black scales.
