The adult moths of this species have pale green wings, each with a dark curved line across the middle. There is a small black dot near the centre of each forewing, and the hindwings each have a cusp midway along the margin. The thorax is green but the abdomen has a dark spot on the back of each segment. The green colour of the wings fades to brown after the moth dies. The wingspan is about 3 cms.
This species occurs in Queensland.
