There is a broad, dark-brown well-developed terminal fascia, as well as two dark-brown discal stigmata, the first one elongate and found at the middle, and the second one smaller, at the end of the cell, weakly suffused with brownish scales extending to the inner margin. The hindwings are orange white.

Etymology

The species name refers to the antenna with a stout basal part in the flagellum and is derived from Greek hadro (meaning thick, stout), with the Greek superlative ending -odes.[2]
