7mm. This species resembles rubraspersa but has a very large pale
discal spot on the hindwing and more irregular postmedial fasciae. The forewing
dorsum provides the diameter for a diagnostic, more or less semicircular pale
fawn area. The male genitalia have a more sinuous spine to the valve, lacking a
lateral spur, and the uncus is more typical of the genus.
