Adults are whitish yellow, with the forewings acutely rectangular at the tips, with four deep black costal marks. The first mark basal and the third larger than the fourth, and much larger than the first and than the second. There is a submarginal slightly outward-curved line of black points, ending in the fourth costal mark and the fringe is blackish cupreous.
