Eucirroedia pampina has a deep yellow forewing with varying amounts of rusty orange shading.  The paler yellow antemedial and postmedial lines are smoothly curved, bounded by rusty brown.  The orbicular and reniform spots are clearly marked, filled with brown inside a paler yellow outline.  In the median area, there is some rusty orange shading, especially in the lower half of the forewing towards the inner margin.  The subterminal line is somewhat scalloped, preceded by a purplish brown shade.  The hindwing is deep pinkish orange in color.  Both forewing and hindwing are scalloped along the outer margin.  According to Covell (1984), the wingspan ranges from 3.6 to 4.4 cm.

According to Handfield (1999), the larvae of Eucirroedia pampina have been reported to feed on poplar, cherry and maple, as well as other trees.  He indicates an adult flight season from the later part of August nearly to the end of September for my general area.

My records to date for Eucirroedia pampina (each date representing "the night of") are in the table below:
