The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, on the median area suffused white towards the costa, and with slender white supramedian, median, and plical streaks, as well as a small greyish-ochreous spot on the base of the costa. There is a transverse irregular white mark beneath the costa at one-fourth, edged ochreous-brownish anteriorly and grey posteriorly, and by a dark grey costal line above, the costal edge beyond this white to the apex. There are two slight fuscous marks on the fold towards the base, and two transversely placed indicating the plical and first discal stigmata. Two spots of brown suffusion are obliquely placed on the end of the cell and there is a curved waved white line from beyond the middle of the costa to the tornus, anteriorly rather broadly margined brown suffusion, the area beyond this wholly brownish with short dark fuscous streaks on the veins. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[2]
