These adult moths have brown wings with dark wriggly lines and dark splotches. They have a wingspan of about 2 cms. Male and female moths are similar, but the antennae of the males are marginally thicker than those of the females.

The species appears to be less common than the related species Sandava scitissignata. Nevertheless, we have found them to be widespread, taking specimens from Riddells Creek, Mt. Martha, Bentleigh and in the Dandenongs, in October, November, March and April in

South Australia.
