It is described as having a more reddish brown ground colour and squarer wings than orizaba orizaba.
The prothoracic collar of the Orizaba Group (orizaba, aurota, chiris, roxana) is brown, only slightly bordered in white. These moths tend to be very large.
There are both inner and outer cocoons, each with a relatively long valve to facilitate eclosions.
