The wingspan is 11–16 mm. Adults are similar to Helcystogramma armatum, but the fulvous ground-colour is duller and more or less largely mixed and suffused with dark fuscous, sometimes mostly obscured, usually forming a more or less defined dark fuscous sometimes pale edged blotch on the dorsum about the middle. There is sometimes an obscure pale oblique transverse line from the white costal spot.[3]
