There is a broad oblique posterior band, on the costa extending from two-fifths to three-fourths, suddenly narrowed near the dorsum to the tornus, its posterior angle confluent in the disc with a blotch on the costa just before the apex. The hindwings are light grey.[2]

The larvae feed on Sorbus comixta.
