The adult moths of this species have patterned brown or grey forewings, and yellow or orange hindwings with a brown border. The forewings each have a recurve on both the inner and outer margins. The hindwings each have a recurve on the outer margin near the tornus. The abdomen has four white markings along each side. The moth has a wingspan of about 6 cms.

We have taken specimens in northern New South Wales and in Queensland. The species also occurs in New Guinea and the Solomons.
