The length of the forewings is 12 mm for males and 13.5–14 mm for females. The ground color of the forewings is dark brown to blackish brown, while the ground color of the hindwings is blackish brown, but slightly lighter near the base.

Etymology
This species name was chosen to reflect the remarkable similarity between females of E. tegyroides and the josiine Proutiella tegyra.
