The length of the forewings is about 21.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is silvery white suffused with charcoal-coloured scales. The ground colour of the hindwings is light mustard yellow to buff in the basal one third and grey-brown in the outer two thirds.
Etymology
The species name is derived from the word zebra, the Abyssinian name for the striped equine of Africa and refers to the zebra-like forewing pattern.
