The wingspan is about 23.5 mm for males and 27.5 mm for females. The forewings are deep colonial buff with isabella colour lines from the costal margin to the dorsum. The hindwings are light yellowish olive with a reticulated (net-like) pattern of isabella. The hindwings of the females are similar to those of the males, but the inner half of the wing is pure isabella.
