A large patch is situated beyond the costal three-fifths, consisting of three inconspicuous longitudinal short black stripes. The discal spot is black with a white dot at the inside and there is a black spot in the middle of the cell. The termen has five short greyish-black strips. The hindwings are greyish brown.
The species name refers to the angle at the basal two-thirds on the ventral margin of the valve and is derived from Latin ventr- (meaning ventral) and angulatus (meaning angulate).[1]
