The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are violet-grey with whitish markings. There is a short streak on the base of the dorsum, reaching at the base half across the wing. A fine indistinct line runs along the fold and there is a narrow fascia before the middle inwards-oblique from the costa. There is a fine line above middle from one-fourth to three-fourths, a streak beneath it from half to two-thirds, and a short dorsal mark beneath the posterior part of this. There is also a streak from the middle of the termen to the costa just before the apex, irregularly dilated on the lower portion, fine above. The hindwings are grey.[2]
