The adult moths of this species have brown patterned wings, with an orange on the thorax and in the area around the base of each wing, a brown Greek letter theta on each forewing, and a wiggly-edged white stripe across each wing. The last four segments of the abdomen are yellow.

The illustrated specimen came from Queensland.
