The length of the forewings is 27–29 millimetres (1.1–1.1 in). It is similar to Dahira obliquifascia but distinguishable by the almost uniform bright orange ground colour of the underside of the forewings and hindwings with poorly contrasting pale brown marginal bands and a strongly contrasting black forewing discal area.
