Adults are similar to Wernya sechuana, but can be distinguished by a more caesious forewing, which is almost without reddish-brown scales. The forewing postmedial line is distinctly approaching to the wing base at the costa and is more protruding at the middle.
Etymology
The species name refers to the middle protrusion of the forewing postmedial line and is derived from Latin cyrtom- (meaning curved and swollen).[3]

gollark: *I* could take some time out of my busy minoteaur-making schedule to make macron, I suppose.
gollark: Interesting. Why?
gollark: ubq is going to make *both* to mock you.
gollark: ubq, *your* arbitrary input on this arbitrary and nigh-meaningless technical choice?
