Adults are rather variable, with ochreous, golden ochreous, testaceous, or hessian brown forewings with a more or less intensive, ferruginous-ochreous reticulation and/or incomplete, oblique rows of blackish or greyish dots in the apical wing portion. The hindwings are whitish yellow to ochreous.[3]
