Wing length: 7mm. A typical Cnaphalocrocis sp. in brown and coppery yellow. The FW has a distinct brown patch along the subcosta. However note the curved shape of the FW submedian line where it approaches the costa and the absence of the large patch of curled scent scales which is present on the FW of the males of C. medinalis.
