The wingspan is about 28 millimetres (1.1 in). The forewings are ochreous brown, becoming light brownish ochreous towards the costa on the anterior half. There is a broad undefined transverse band of dark brown suffusion, darkest towards the dorsum, extending on the dorsum from the base to two-thirds and on the costa from the middle to five-sixths, where an undefined somewhat curved shade of fuscous suffusion runs to the tornus. A roundish spot of fuscous suffusion is found towards the base of veins 2–5. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
