The length of the forewings is 9-11.5 mm for males and 13-13.5 mm for females.Wilkinson, Christopher (1967). "A taxonomic revision of the genus Teldenia Moore (Lepidoptera: Drepanidae, Drepaninae)". The Transactions of the Zoological Society of London. 119 (11). Adults are greyish white, both wings with a transverse discal zigzag band, composed of purplish lunules with black-speckled inner borders. Beyond the lunular band is a very indistinct pale purplish-brown lunular line and a marginal row of black dots. In females, the lunular band has a confluent purplish-brown line and the outer line and marginal black dots are more distinct.[https://archive.org/stream/lepidopteraofcey02moor#page/120/mode/1up The Lepidoptera of Ceylon. 2 (2): 120.] {{PD-notice}}
