The wingspan is 25–27 mm. The forewings are dark violaceous brown, irregularly mottled with leaf-green scales, a large blotch of which is found just before the middle of the dorsum, followed by a black dot on the fold. At the end of the cell is a short, transverse, black line and on the middle of the edge is a large showy dark velvety brown spot with a pure white center and with deep black shadings in front, and with four or five black dashes toward the margin. The hindwings are blackish fuscous.[2]
