The forewings are white in the basal two-thirds, suffused with pale yellowish, pale brown and brownish black scales, with blackish brown scale tuft near the base, mottled white.

The costa has brownish black scales from the basal one-third to two-thirds, diffused to above the cell, with a white spot at outside of the postmedian line, spreading to R5.

The distal one-third reddish brown, tinged with white scales.

The distal one-third is deep grey tinged with pale reddish brown, gradually paler from the costa to the dorsum.

The species name is derived from the Latin erythrinus (meaning red) and refers to the forewing reddish brown in the distal area.
