Its wings are green and marbled with black in a way that makes them look like lichen. It has a wingspan of 4 centimeters. It has back wings, hidden when resting, that have a pale brown colour. Underneath the wings is a pale brown colour. The antennae of Archephanes zalosema are not branched. Typical of sexual dimorphism among Lepidoptera the male is smaller than the female.
