The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are white with a fuscous basal patch, suffusedly mottled dark fuscous, the edge rather oblique, from one-fourth of the costa to two-fifths of the dorsum. There are two grey dots towards the costa about the middle and there is some grey suffusion and mottling towards the dorsum about the middle. The second discal stigma is blackish-grey and there is a rather thick curved grey shade from the costa at three-fifths to the dorsum before the tornus. A grey terminal streak, becoming blackish-grey and somewhat broader towards the apex, encloses an almost marginal series of white marks. Three or four black marks are found just below the margin on the posterior part of the costa. The hindwings are pale grey, tinged whitish towards the base.[2]
