The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are vinous red with an indistinct curved subbasal line with a grey speck at the costa. There is an oblique antemedial line arising from an outwardly oblique white costal fascia and there is a short medial white fascia on the costa, as well as a large hyaline (glass-like) lunule in the end of the cell. There is a marginal series of red spots. The hindwings are deeper vinous red with an oblique dark medial line.[2]
