The length of the forewings is 12–13 mm. The forewings are dark brown, with two black dots at the middle and the end of the cell and a broad crescent shaped whitish-yellow mark from the costal two-fifth downward to before the tornus, then upward to the costal four-fifth, tinged with light brown scales. The hindwings are grey.
Etymology
The species name refers to the shape of the marking of the forewing and is derived from Latin luniformis (meaning crescent).[2]
