This and the next two species have forewings with a longitudinally striate pattern with transverse grey fasciae, grey along the veins distal to the postmedial, and red in the spaces everywhere. In lucibilis the postmedial is entire, more regularly curved, the curvature strongest towards the costa. Spining in the aedeagus vesica appears to be variable.
