They have dark grey crosslines. and two central bands: one in the basal field and one in the marginal field. The hindwings are unmarked pale grey or whitish. The caterpillar is green, much wrinkled. It has three whitish lines or stripes along the dorsum, and in some examples there is a white line low down along the sides; the head, which inclines to yellowish, is notched, and there are two pinkish points on the last ring of the body.
