The forewings are ochreous brown, sparsely sprinkled with black scales, especially on the costal apical area.

The basal area is sharply limited by a short black streak from the dorsal edge. There are two round deep black dots in the middle of the disc and there is an ill-defined blackish-brown blotch just before the end of the cell. The hindwings are light ochreous fuscous.''Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington'' 9 (1-4): 89
