It is similar to Temnora griseata griseata but the upperside of the head has a dark brown median longitudinal crest, the forewing apex and tornus are more acute and the outer margin is more deeply excavated below the apex. The forewing upperside ground colour is dark brown and the pattern of transverse lines is more contrasted.
