The wingspan is 23–25 mm. The forewings are fuscous with the costa narrowly suffused with pale purplish, towards the base darker purplish-fuscous, the extreme costal edge sometimes partially whitish. There is a narrow dark purplish-fuscous mark along the costa in the middle, and a stronger one on the costa from two-thirds to near the apex and a suffused purplish-brown streak from one-fourth of the dorsum to the lower angle of the cell, as well as a very indistinct small dark fuscous dot on the upper angle of the cell. A very faint darker waved line or series of dots is found from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum near the tornus, obtusely bent in the disc. The terminal edge is tinged with bronzy-brown, with indistinct small dark fuscous dots. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly.[2]
