The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous with light tawny and dark purplish-brown markings. There is a light fulvous-tawny suffusion along the posterior three-fifths of the costa, continued by a narrow subcostal streak to the anterior extremity of the costal prominence. This suffusion is interrupted by strigulae of the ground colour posteriorly, each edged by an irregular dark brown line. There is a dark purplish-brown transverse patch across its anterior edge, as well as a dark purple-brown line along the posterior part of the fold and some sparse speckling of pale tawny and brown scales over the pale basal area. The hindwings are dark purplish-grey with the apex and dorsum suffusedly pale ochreous.[3]
