The wingspan is 21–22 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous with three obscure rather irregular grey transverse lines, the first rather curved, rather oblique, the lower half forming the posterior limit of a triangular purple dorsal blotch, somewhat marbled with ground colour, the second and third obtusely angulated in the middle, the space between these forming a suffused purplish blotch on the dorsal half. The second discal stigma forms a dark grey transverse mark preceding the second line and there is a fuscous terminal line. The hindwings are grey.[2]
