The wingspan is 23–24 mm. The basal area of the forewings is suffused orange and there is a violet-brown suffused streak along the costa from the base to near the apex. A short dark brown streak is found on the dorsal edge near the base and there is a streak of ferruginous-orange suffusion from the base along the fold to the plical stigma. The stigmata are represented by spots of orange suffusion, sometimes purplish-mixed, the first discal large, rather beyond the plical. There is a shade of orange-purplish suffusion from four-fifths of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, well-defined posteriorly and with an angular projection in the middle. There is some slight orange suffusion along the termen. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
