A geometrid moth with wavy bands of white, dark brown and pale orange on wings with a span of 20 mm. Patches of orange at the apex of each fore-wing might differentiate this moth from others in the genus.
Spotted near trees - mixed natives Caterpillars are said to feed on young apples and Rose flowers.
