The wingspan about 55 mm. The forewings are cinnamon pinkish white, but the outer one-third umber-brown washed and clouded with pinkish cinnamon and cinnamon-white. There is an arc of three large irregular umber-brown patches on basal one-fourth, as well as several lines and a black stigmatic dot beyond which is a brown patch. The outer one-third of the wing is sharply cut off from the basal paler two-thirds. The hindwings are salmon-pink, the outer one-third with an ill-defined broad sooty grey-black band and suffusion.[3]
