The wings are pale yellow with two brown lines. The forewings are partly brownish along the costa with a diffuse purplish tinge in the disc and metallic-purple at the base. The hindwings are metallic-purple at the tips and a metallic-purple patch on each side of the interior angle.[3]: 488 

The only species in the genus Nistra, this species was formerly included in Agrotera.[4]
