Adults are pale cinereous-straw colour, the forewings ferruginous speckled, with two black points in the disc, one before the middle, the other beyond the middle, continued to the interior border by means of a brown streak. There is a row of black points along the apical part of the costa and along the exterior border. The hindwings are dark cinereous.[2]
