The base, apical area and two broad fascia at one-third and two-thirds are dark brown and there is a distinct black spot in the middle of the wing posterior to the fascia at one-third. A cream-yellow fascia is found posterior to the fascia at two-thirds. The hindwings are grey. Adults are on wing from late July to August.
