The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are amber brown with the basal third faintly blotched with carmine. Slightly before the middle of the costa is a small, ocherous-white, quadrate spot edged with carmine and at the outer third the costa is excavated and bordered with a white, carmine-edged, lunate mark. The remainder of the costa is very narrowly edged fuscous. In the cell at the basal third is a fuscous spot surrounded by a few carmine scales. The discal spot at the end of the cell is obsolete and between the end of the cell and termen is an ill-defined, transverse row of fuscous spots. The hindwings are ocherous white basally, shading to brown at the apex.[2]
