The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are violet-whitish-grey and the costal edge is fuscous from the base to four-fifths, the extreme edge grey-whitish. There is some slight brownish suffusion towards the costa on the basal two-fifths, terminated by an indistinct direct transverse fuscous shade from the costa to the fold, then obliquely and faintly extended to a cloudy fuscous spot on the posterior extremity of a slender blackish-fuscous dorsal streak from the subbasal tuft to beyond the middle and there is a small fuscous spot on the costa at one-fourth. There is an irregular fuscous shade from before the middle of the costa to the dorsum at four-fifths, nearly obsolete on the median third but with a small blackish dot indicating the second discal stigma, its dorsal extremity dark fuscous. An elongate mark of fuscous suffusion is found on the costa at three-fourths, where a faint grey-whitish curved line, indistinctly edged pale grey anteriorly, runs to the tornus, rather indented near the costa. A dark fuscous dot is found on the costa near the apex. The hindwings are grey.[2]
