The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous, with some fine scattered blackish scales and with the extreme costal edge whitish.
In males, a bare whitish-ochreous patch is found towards the dorsum near the base.
The larvae conceal themselves beneath galleries of web and excreta on the under-surface of the leaves of coconut palm.
In bad attacks, the palm fronds are completely skeletonized.
