The adult moths of this species are largely green, with several dark zig zag bands across each wing. The forewings each have a dark-outlined oval near the middle in a vague dark band across each wing, which meets another vague sub-hindmarginal band to form a 'T' shape. The hindwings are much paler than the forewings. The green coloration fades to brown in dead specimens. The wingspan is about 3 cms.
The species has been found in
