The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are brownish, with the basal half dark brown, and the dividing line suffused and rather oblique. The extreme costal edge is brownish-ochreous and the dorsal subbasal scale-projection is ferruginous-brownish. There is a dark fuscous transverse mark on the end of the cell, accompanied by slight ferruginous suffusion. A curved series of small cloudy dark fuscous spots is found from the costa at three-fifths to the dorsum at four-fifths, but obsolete in the disc above the middle. There is also a marginal series of lunulate fuscous marks around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
