The wingspan is about 14 mm for males and 13.5−15 mm for females. The forewings are pink with scattered black scales. The apical angle is dotted with some yellow scales and the costal margin has a thin interrupted black-white line along the edge. The median band is yellow edged with white. The hindwing color and pattern is the same as the forewing.
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Latin simi- (meaning similar) and punicea the name of Endotricha punicea and refers to the similarity of the two species.
