The dorsum has a broad white band along the basal Шаблон:Frac, serrated on the upper edge, distally with a stria extending obliquely outward to the middle of the cell, with a small triangular white spot and an obliquely outward stria at the middle and before Шаблон:Frac. There is a narrow silvery-white fascia with metallic reflection from the costal Шаблон:Frac to the dorsum and the distal Шаблон:Frac is ochreous, with a central black spot edged by a white dot near the costa and a white band along the dorsum.
