The adult moth of this species is pale brown, with a number of darker dots and curving lines on the wings. One prominent line extends from the apex to the centre of the inner margin of each wing. In the natural posture of the moth: these lines are aligned and look like the midvein of a leaf.

The species has been found in Queensland.
