This insect measures from an inch and a half to nearly 
two inches in width. 
Male: fore wings pale greenish-grey, first line a darker 
hue of the same, much curved and waved, second line 
also much bent, and between them is a central line of 
a like character running through the central spot which 
is indistinct, and outside the second a third but straighter 
and less decisively apparent line. In some specimens 
all these lines are almost wholly wanting. Hind wings 
also greenish-grey but paler in colour, with a waved 
dusky line across, and traces of another, or part of 
another, near the lower edge. 
The female is without wings.
