The adults are dark cupreous brown, the forewings with luteous (muddy-yellow) marks. There is a short oblique basal streak, a middle band composed of three irregularly triangular spots, an apical triangular spot and some connected marginal points. The hindwings are pale cinereous (ash gray) along the costa.[2]
