19-22mm. The facies is similar to that of editha, but the male antennae are only very slightly pectinate, not much more than serrate; the male costa has a much reduced fringe of scales on the underside. The white mark on the forewing is more lunulate. The male genitalia have differences in the valves from editha, such as a much more basal and prominent process from the costa (there are two subapical ones in editha), and the distal part of the valve is curved evenly upwards rather than straight, with much more robust spining along the ventral margin. The aedeagus is shorter, but the vesica is similar in shape, although is much less heavily spined along its dorsal part adjacent to the aedeagus apex.
