The forewings have two large ovoid patches of pale buff in the costal region.

These patches are infrequently separated by a narrow brown remnant of a median fascia.

The remainder of the wing has a broad brown longitudinal band along the dorsum.

They are pale translucent yellow gold with a nearly uniformly amber head.

[1] The genus name is derived from Latin spargano (meaning to scatter or throw around) and cosm (referring to the universe).
