The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are yellow, the basal third coarsely reticulated with red, the rest streaked with red between the veins. There is a black subbasal dot in the middle and fuscous markings edged with red as follows: a small spot on the costa at one-fifth, a streak along the dorsum from the base to one-third, then stronger across the wing to a flattened-triangular blotch on the middle of the costa, and again slenderer to the tornus, from beyond the cell sending a straight branch to the costa at three-fourths, a small spot is also on the lower angle of the cell. There are semioval blackish marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous whitish.[2]
