14-15mm,
16-17mm. This is a larger species than abnormalis but
very similar in facies. Males have the dark zone at the forewing tornus broader,
and the patch of scent scales on the hindwing is tinged greyish rather than
being uniform cream. The female ground colour is paler, the fringes darker. In
the male abdomen the bifurcations of the eighth sternite are shorter, separated
by a rounded excavation rather than an acute notch. In the genitalia the saccus
is shorter than in abnormalis and the valves are narrower. In the females
of both species the bursa is constricted centrally but asymmetrically into basal
and distal lobes, the former containing a prominent, scobinate, spine-like
signum.
