Adults are fawn-colour, robust, cinereous beneath. The forewings are slightly acute, with four black points at the disk, two before the middle, the other two beyond the middle, the third and fourth behind the first and second. There are some black points along the apical part of the costa and along the exterior border, which is straight and moderately oblique. The hindwings are cinereous.[2]
