The apical two thirds of the forewings is rufous, while the costa and basal one fourth are creamy to yellowish white with brown-tipped scales.

The species name refers to the brushlike lateral projections forming the sclerotized dorsal extension from the base of the juxta and is derived from Latin hispidus (meaning bristly).^[2]
