The wings are coloured like dry brown leaves, the forewings with two straight dark brown cross lines, the outer one at the costa near the apex. The inner one is slightly curved before the costa. There are also three indistinct dark dots. The hindwings have a lighter brown anterior half without markings, while the posterior half has the darker cross lines.[3]
