The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with a suffused orange basal blotch, not reaching the costa or dorsum. There is a broad oblique orange median fascia, slightly sprinkled dark fuscous, the stigmata placed on the margins of this. These stigmata are small and blackish, the plical rather obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a similar triangular blotch on the costa towards the apex, reaching more than half across the wing. The hindwings are grey.[3]
