The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are lilac-brown with the extreme costal edge ochreous. There are three very indistinct interrupted lines or a series of dots of blackish irroration, the first about one-third, oblique and angled on the fold, the second from a small round spot beneath the middle of the costa to a larger spot on the dorsum before the tornus, the third curved from three-fourths of the costa to a pre-tornal spot. There is a terminal series of black dots. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[3]
