The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are violet grey with an oblique irregular blackish mark from the base of the costa, edged with whitish-ochreous suffusion. There are two oblique irregular blackish shades, the first from the costa at one-fifth to the fold, edged with light ochreous suffusion, a slender light ochreous-yellowish costal streak from this to three-fourths. The second shade is rather curved from the middle of the costa to the dorsum at three-fourths, edged anteriorly by a suffused light yellow-ochreous streak interrupting it in the middle. There is also a very oblique blackish mark on the costa at four-fifths, preceding a narrow ochreous-yellowish terminal fascia attenuated to the tornus. Four or five minute groups of black scales are located on the terminal edge. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
