Adults are similar to Aplogompha costimaculata, but the forewings of the males are long and narrow and the hindwings are moderate (not broadly expanded), while the basal two-thirds of both wings below are washed with yellowish. Females are pale brown above, but with the markings of the males on both sides.[4]
