Adults are bright ochraceous, the wings minutely red speckled. The exterior line is red, straight, oblique and well defined and the submarginal line is red, indistinct and nearly obsolete in the forewings. The forewings are slightly acute, with a hyaline (glass-like) basal dot. The interior line is red, slight and bent and the exterior line is forked near the costa, where it includes a purplish mark.[2]
