With wings that are green with red edges, the adult moths of this species are members of the group called 'Emeralds'. Each hindwing also has a substantial red spot in the middle, unlike those of the Emerald Chlorocoma vertumnaria. Each forewing has a vestigial spot in the middle. The hindwings are rounded, unlike those of the Emerald Chlorocoma tetraspila. The moths have a wing span of about 2 cms.
