The length of the forewings is 17 mm for males and 20.9 mm. There is a broad tan subcostal streak from the base of the wing to the apex. This streak encloses a chocolate reniform spot and has several slightly darker brown lines crossing obliquely from the costa. There is a basal dash below the streak, perpendicular to the thorax, as well as a white streak below the dash. There is a warm brown patch distal to the white streak, bordered by white. The hindwings are fuscous with a darker margin and weak darker brown anal markings almost forming a spot.^[2]
