The wingspan is 35–48 mm. Seitz A. selenis Ev. (67g). Above deeper brown than the preceding [hegemone], the black spots much larger than in hegemone, but not united to dentate bands as in aphirape.

In typical specimens from the Ural Mts. the outer half of the hindwing beneath is scaled with yellow and brick-red, while in [subspecies] sibirica Ersch.
