Antennae of male serrate (like saw teeth) and fasciculate (bundled). Body red greyish brown. Palpi black. Forewings slightly sprinkled with dark specks. There is an indistinct sinuous antemedial line and a black speck in cell. A medial straight, almost erect, dark line with some bluish grey on the outer edge, and often with the area beyond it grey. Costa of forewings have white specks on towards apex. A more or less developed sinuous submarginal black and white specks series present. Hindwings fuscous.
