Toxopeus described the forewing as undulating satiny white, thinly scaled, with a small blackish discal spot. The costa is buff distally and the fringes ‘drab’. The valve is ‘clumsy’, the outer edge cut off obliquely and terminating in a knotty excrescence beneath. The harpe is situated against the upper half of the valve, very spinous, terminating in a sharp needle. The uncus is as in erasmia.
