Description
It is very similar to Thyridia psidii and Methona confusa, especially in the female. The perfectly transparent wings have a black margin and black median band, which, however, in the male only reaches the middle of the wing on account of the scent-scale on the anterior half of the hindwing.
The wingspan is about 80 mm (3.1 in).
