The wingspan is 28–33 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellow, with two dark concave fasciae from the apex to one-third and two-thirds of the inner margin. The distal part of the forewings is bordered by brown proximal fascia. The hindwings are yellow to yellowish brown.[1]

Etymology

The species name is derived from Greek Tanaos (meaning long) and gnathos (meaning jaw) and refers to the long gnathos in the male genitalia.
