The wingspan is 48-56 mm. The forewings are cinnamon-brown, but paler in the medial area and with a straight oblique dark purplish brown medial stripe, followed by a slightly curved narrower similar coloured postmedial line edged with paler externally. In this edging is a row of dark dots on each vein. The apex has a darker suffusion. The hindwings are orange, with a trace of a medial line and a suffused lunulated postmedial stripe which is edged with pale externally. There is a row of dark dots on the veins.
