The wingspan is 35–42mm. it is very similar to Autographa pulchrina, which is usually lighter and redder in colour overall. Autographa jota is somewhat larger and usually predominantly pinkish-brown in colour, Autographa mandarina, on the other hand, is usually darker and shows a large gamma sign. In North America, Autographa californica and Autographa pseudogamma resemble buraetica. Because of the similarity to the above-mentioned species, a genital morphological examination must be used for a reliable determination.
