The length of the forewings is 40-46 mm. The forewings are light brown dorsally with lighter areas that accent a darker wing base and a faint Y-shaped band that extends from the costal margin, in the sub apical area, but becomes wider again toward to the anal margin. There is a dark, rounded spot on the apex of the discal cell toward the costal margin. Two to three hyaline, rounded spots are found in the sub apical area. The hindwings are brown-orange, but darker toward the base and lighter toward the center and yellowish toward the costal and anal margins
