The wingspan is 36–44 mm.[1] Male with ciliated antennae. Cell of hindwings short. Veins 7 and 8 distorted and vein 6 given off below angle of cell. Body much darker red-brown. Palpi black with white tips. Forewings with reniform reduced to a pale speck. The postmedial line less oblique, arising from the costa before apex, and not angled. Hindwings with straight postmedial line.[2]
The larvae feed on the young leaves of Derris species. When disturbed they drop to the ground or jump off their leaf.[3]
