The lower and posterior margins of the cell are dark brown, with veins 2-6 marked by dark brown lines and 7-9 by fine orange lines. A ferruginous-orange streak is found along the costa from the middle, posteriorly slightly diverging and sprinkled dark fuscous, not reaching the apex and there is a dark fuscous terminal line.
