The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish partially tinged fuscous and with the costal edge dark fuscous from the base to the middle. The markings are formed by light fuscous suffusion mixed darker fuscous. There is a streak beneath the basal fourth of the costa and some light suffusion in the disc anteriorly, with a spot of darker suffusion resting on the costa before the middle, from this a dark line runs beneath the costa to four-fifths. A dark oblique-triangular blotch occupies the basal two-fifths of the dorsum, from its apex a dark attenuated streak runs to the apical spot. There is a short dash at the tornus, preceded by a small elongate spot on the dorsum, and followed by a wedge-shaped spot on the lower part of the termen, connected with the apical spot in the disc. There is also a dark streak from the costa beyond the middle to the apical spot and a small dark triangular apical spot, including a black apical dot partly edged with white. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
