The Batman Moth has a wingspan of approximately 5/8 inch. The overall ground color of the forewing is pink with rose accents. When the wings are closed there is a rose-colored pattern in the middle of the wings where they come together in the shape of a bat. The orbicular spot and reniform spot are black dots. The rosy subterminal line widens across the wing and curves upward to the costa. Males do not have a costal fold.
