Similar in general appearance to M.admirandus and M. capillatus but the wings have much larger areas of pale orange coloration on the distal parts of the FW and centrally on the HW. The HW has only the remnants of a median fascia as spots at the margins, unlike the other species of Monodecus where it is nearly always complete.
