The first brown fascia runs from the costal three-fifths to the tornus and the second brown fascia extends from the apex to the tornus and is joined with the first fascia, forming a V-shaped pattern. The hindwings are pale grey. The hindwings are black.

Etymology

The species name refers to the aedeagus and is derived from Latin robustus (meaning stout).[1]
