The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are dark brown with a diffuse, pale yellow costal spot at the beginning of the costal fringe, and a similar dorsal spot obliquely below the costal one. The hindwings are pale red, but appear darker at the extreme apex due to some brownish scales. Adults have been recorded on wing in February.[3]
