The length of the forewings is 15–16 mm. The forewings are orange yellow, with dense brown scales, becoming denser at the base. The costal margin has a large dark brown blotch at about three-fourths of the length, diffused downward to the tornus. The apex is brown, forming a somewhat broad fascia along the termen and joined with the blotch at the tornus. There is a dark brown dot set at the middle of the cell and at two-thirds of the fold. The hindwings are deep grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the large dorsal process of the sacculus and is derived from Latin dorso- (meaning dorsal) and projectus (meaning prominent).[1]
