It is very similar to Theretra queenslandi but smaller and the forewing ground colour is pale grey. The forewing upperside is as in Theretra queenslandi, but the ground colour is pale silvery-grey. Consequently, the dark discal spot is much more conspicuous. The hindwing upperside is also as in Theretra queenslandi, but the paler marginal area is broader.
