Adults are lilac fawn colour, the wings with numerous greyish spots, yellowish towards the base and along the exterior border. The forewings have a darker middle part, bounded on the inside by an undulating grey band and on the outside by a more oblique and straight yellow band. There is a blackish spot at the interior angle. The hindwings have a very narrow darker middle part.[3]
