Only the discal spot, the basal section of the first postmedian line and the fourth postmedian line are standing out from the greyish-brown ground colour in most specimens. The pale yellow spots of the median band on the hindwing upperside are fewer and smaller than in Xylophanes tersa tersa and sometimes flushed with pink.
The length of the forewings is 36–41 mm. It is intermediate in appearance between Xylophanes aristor and Xylophanes tersa. There is a weakly developed golden medial line on the tegula. The upperside of the thorax has a grey medial band, bordered laterally and divided medially by brown lines.

The first two, together with the seven subdivisions of the third, are now used as the basis for nine superfamily names: Papilionoidea , Sphingoidea , Bombycoidea , Noctuoidea , Geometroidea , Tortricoidea , Pyraloidea , Tineoidea and Alucitoidea .
