The forewings are greyish brown with a dark discal dot and an irregularly punctate, curved submarginal, concave distad. The male genitalia have the valve processes smaller than in rufibasis, more appressed. The valve apices are similar, with small costal and ventral lobes. The aedeagus vesica has two groups of more robust, more dispersed spines.
