The wingspan is about 103 mm for females and 125 mm for males. The forewings are olivaceous cinnamon-brown, on the basal five-sixths nervures broadly black, as are numerous irregular crossbars, variegated with white edged by a convex post-discal double band outwardly black, inwardly white. The outer one-sixth with the nervures much less broadly white and two subterminal black bands, the inner wider and more intense black.
