Diagnosis (MOB). Males occur in two forms: with uniform grey forewings or with forewings darker grey distal to the antemedial. The antemedial is strongly curved with the concavity basad, whereas in the next species, cerigoides Walker, which also has a yellow hindwing, it is angled distad, and has a bluish grey band associated with it. The female of horsfleldii is mainly white, with only faint markings on the forewing, whereas cerigoides has the forewing heavily irrorated and fasciated with brown, and there is a yellowish tinge to the hindwing.
