Male with sub-basal area of hindwings clothed with long silky hair ventrally.

Forewings with indistinct waved sub-basal, antemedial, medial, and post-medial lines, each arising from a black spot on the costa.

Ventral side with the area inside the crenulate submarginal line of both wings broadly suffused with fuscous.

Young larvae secrete silk threads from spinnerets and suspended themselves from twigs by them.

This habit, and the discharge of a fluid from a saclike, eversible gland are the only known defense strategies.
