Adults are fawn-colour, the forewings with a few elongated black points near the base, and with a few black streaks of various sizes in the disc. There is a curved white exterior line which is composed of points, except towards the costa, where it is entire and retracted. There are also a few exterior white streaks, which are accompanied by three deep black streaks. The marginal line is pale fawn-colour. The hindwings are cupreous-brown.[2]
