Description
Adults of Acrolophus popleanella have dark brown wings with lighter brown blotches and a striped pattern near the lowermost margin of the forewings. Their wings are held folded in a tent-like formation over their bodies when at rest. They have a wingspan of 24-33 mm and are 11 to 14 mm long. A tuft of elongated, hairlike scales give them a "helmeted" appearance.
