The adult moths of this species have a broad curving pattern of light and dark brown patches on the forewings, and suffused white lines on a brown background on the hindwings. In the natural resting posture of the moth, the curved patterns on the two forewings are aligned, giving the appearance of a single item that could be some bark or a dead leaf. The moths have a wingspan of about 6 cms.
