The wingspan is about 34 mm.

The plical and second discal stigmata are small and dark fuscous, an additional dot on the lower end of the transverse vein and a faint transverse series of fuscous specks towards the termen. There is also a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish-grey-ochreous, faintly greyer below the middle posteriorly.[2]
