The coloration of the adult moth of this species is variable. Basically it is a blotchy brown, and the forewings sometimes have several irregular pale patches, and sometimes there is a dark line across each wing. The hindwings each have a dark dot near the middle. The margin of each forewing has a double recurve, and the apex is hooked. All the wings have scalloped edges.
