The outer part of the rounded, straw-white forewing darkens towards the trailing corner and this is diagnostic. On some individuals, the darkening is evident as a dark brown band, but even lighter specimens have at least two small dark marks. The dots around the border of both the forewing and hindwing are sometimes absent.
