Expands 13⁄16 in. The markings of wings are not very distinct. Ground-colour of fore wings is greenish, intermixed with paler scales; near the base is a suffused blackish line. At 1/3 on the inner margin is a black spot, at 1/2 a similar spot; both extend upwards by a thin wavy line to about the middle of wing. On the costal margin at 2/3 is a light patch edged with black; at the apex there is also a light patch. The costa is marked with black dots. Hind wings are grey on basal area, darker at margin. Thorax silvery, with green scales intermixed. Abdomen silvery-grey.
