Females are brown with a dark-edged pale spot near the base of the forewings and a pale submarginal zig-zag line on both the fore- and hindwings. Males are also brown with a dark-edged pale spot near the base of the forewings, but also with a prominent dark line across the forewings. The hindwings are orange with dark markings.[2]
