Description

The wingspan is about 56 mm. The forewings are chestnut brown, without any markings, except that the costa near the base and the hairs at the base of the inner margin are more of a clay colour, while the veins are marked by a slightly darker irroration (sprinkling). The hindwings are cinnamon buff, sparingly irrorated on the terminal area and more thickly on the terminal one-third of the veins with chestnut brown.[3]
