Adults are similar to Aristotelia roseosuffusella, but the forewings are much less roseate, frequently showing no tinge of the roseate hue. The first dark band does not cover the base of the wing and the second band is like that of roseosuffusella, but the third extends across the wing, the dorsal portion being, however, paler than the costal, and the costo-apical part of the wing is ochreous-fuscous.[3]
