The wingspan is 16-16.5 mm. The forewings are greyish yellow with scattered brown scales. The costal margin is dark brown basally, with dark brown dots on the distal one-fourth. There are dark brown spots at one-third, two-thirds and near the end of the cell, as well as a dark brown streak from the end of the cell to the end of the fold. There are also dark brown dots on the termen. The hindwings are grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the triangular process of the right lobe of sicae and is derived from Latin ventr- (meaning ventral) and projectus (meaning process).[3]
