The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous, with large yellow-ochreous blotches and a small subcostal basal spot, as well as a large squarish blotch on the costa near the base, nearly touching a smaller spot on one-fourth of the dorsum. There is a second rounded spot on the costa before the middle, nearly touching a large squarish blotch on the mid-dorsum, as well as a spot on the costa at two-thirds and a triangular spot on the costa immediately before the apex. A dark fuscous terminal line does not extend to the tornus. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
