The forewings are fawn brown mixed throughout with pale orange brown, with faint, narrow, variable traces of slightly darker post-median and subterminal fasciae, and a few short darker strigulae along the costa. There is a well developed costal fold occupying the straight basal 0.4 of the costa. The hindwings are uniform dark grey brown. The female forewings are slightly darker overall. Adults have been recorded on wing from January to May.
