These adult moths have brown wings with dark wriggly lines and dark splotches. They have a wingspan of about 2 cms.

Female	Male

The disembodied illustrations show particularly the differences between the two sexes. Male and female have similar antennae, although those of the males are marginally thicker to the naked eye.

The species appears to be less common than the related species Sandava scitissignata. Nevertheless, in Victoria, we have found them to be widespread, taking specimens from Riddells Creek, Mt. martha, Bentleigh and in the Dandenongs, in October, November, March and April.
