The wingspan is about 48 mm. The forewings are white, thinly sprinkled with dark fuscous, more closely on the dorsal half anteriorly. There is a short very oblique ill-defined dark fuscous streak from the costa at one-fifth, a similar less-developed streak from before the middle of the costa to the disc beyond the cell, its extremity curved, and a small spot on the costa at three-fourths. There are two small dark fuscous spots transversely placed on the end of the cell. The hindwings are rather light grey.[2]
The larvae feed on Roupala montana.
