It is similar to Rhagastis acuta but can be distinguished by the lateral pattern of the abdomen, the forewing upperside ground colour which is always darker olive-brown and the dark brown markings which are substantially larger. The hindwing upperside has no pale median band except for a small patch near the tornus.
