The wingspan is about 42 mm.

The orbicular is small but conspicuous and ringed with blackish grey. The reniform is ill-defined and black with whitish scales. The postmedian area is diffused with pale rufous and defined on the outside by a serrate blackish line beyond the postmedian line. There is a large greyish shade on the subcosta beyond the postmedian line, interrupted by a whitish oblique hue on the subcostal and there is an apical whitish marking, defined on the inside by a greyish shade on the subcostal. The apical streak is angulated and the terminal line is blackish. There is a series of thin lunules at the end of the cellules. The hindwings are pale greyish ochreous, the outer area darker.[2]
