Description

[edit]

The moth, whose forewings measure 15-17 mm, is distinguished from other Hadena by its dark, charcoal gray forewings, lack of a basal dash (dash-like marking on the basal area of the forewing), and much less distinctive W-shaped mark along the subterminal line of the forewing.[3][4]
