The length of the forewings is about 12.5 mm. The forewings are greyish black with an inverted, triangular, orange-yellow spot at the distal one-fifth and an orange-yellow fascia extending from the middle of the costal margin to two-thirds the length of the dorsum, medially set with two small black dots along its inside and one elongate black spot along its outside. The hindwings are dark grey.
