The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are orange with the base narrowly fuscous, towards the costa silvery-metallic. There is a silvery-metallic violet-fuscous spot on the costa at one-third, and one on the dorsum opposite. A large violet-fuscous patch occupies the apical two-fifths of the wing except along the costa, where the ground-colour forms a streak reaching to near the apex, with the margin suffused. The hindwings are fuscous, slightly purple-tinged.[2]
