Adults are dark cinereous, the forewings with a few black points near the base, and with three dark brown marks, which have black and silvery borders. These marks consist of two interior spots and a broad exterior undulating streak, which is forked towards the costa. The marginal line is silvery, with an exterior blackish border, which is interrupted by some silvery streaks on the brownish cinereous fringe. The hindwings are brownish cinereous.
