The species is sexually dimorphic and its wing colouration is variable; the forewing, especially of the female, can be almost uniform brownish. It has the lines of the hindwing conjoined to make a broad band. Male genitalia: uncus long and slender, curved towards venter especially in middle, with some lateral setae near base only; gnathos 4/5 length of uncus, spatulate, apically with small upward pointing serrations around the tip; aedeagus with a broad patch of very small spines in vesica. Female genitalia: ostium small, 1/4 width of abdomen; colliculum immediately behind ostium; ductus bursae very long and narrow, widening only slightly into corpus bursae.
