The forewings are grey, speckled with blackish. There are faint traces of darker antemedial and postmedial lines. There is a prominent black stigma and some dark irrorations alternating with creamy ones at the hind margin. The hindwings are grey, with a yellowish tinge. The underside is uniform light grey with dark speckles. Females have broader and more rounded wings.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Cissus species.
