The length of the forewings is 19–20 millimetres (0.75–0.79 in) for males and about 19 mm for females. The forewing costa is reddish brown and the basal area is reddish brown with black. The antemedial line is black with violet scales and the medial area has an orange anterior and a violet posterior. The hindwings are translucent white with black marginal band. Adults have been recorded on wing in January, February and from July to September.

Etymology

The species name refers to the colorful maculation and is derived from Latin festivus (meaning joyous).[2]
