The wingspan is 13–15 mm. The forewings are pale reddish-ochreous, darker towards the costa and with a dark reddish dorsal streak, edged with whitish, from one-fifth to four-fifth, abruptly truncated posteriorly. A fuscous spot, indented posteriorly, is found before the tornus, from this a reddish-ochreous suffusion containing two minute fuscous dots extends more than half across the disc beyond the middle, and is preceded by a whitish dot. There is a short, outwardly oblique, reddish-ochreous streak from three-fourth of the costa and an interrupted, fuscous line from beneath the costa to the termen above the tornus. There is also a fine, fuscous terminal line. The hindwings are dark grey, towards the base ochreous-whitish.[3]
