The length of the forewings is about 15 mm. The forewings are brown, with a dark brown dot at the middle of the cell, the end of the cell and the distal one-third of the fold. There is a yellow spot set on the costa halfway and at one-fifth, while another yellow spot is situated at two-thirds the length of the dorsum. The hindwings are grey.
Etymology
The specific name refers to the forewing pattern and is derived from Latin trimaculatus (meaning having three spots).[1]
