The length of the forewings is about 32 millimetres (1.3 in). It is similar to Eurypteryx geoffreyi. There is a small round stigma and greyish semicircular marginal area on the forewing upperside and a round yellowish discal spot on the forewing underside. Here, a dark brown almost straight submarginal line is also present, separating the lighter marginal area from the darker rest of the wing. The hindwing underside has a dark brown postmedian line.
