The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, the basal one-fourth and a moderate direct postmedian fascia dark grey slightly sprinkled with whitish. Beyond one-fourth is a fascia of whitish suffusion, extended on the dorsum to the postmedian fascia. There is also a narrow slightly metallic grey fascia at three-fourths, and an angulated metallic-grey marginal streak around the apex, between these a blackish spot towards the costa and two grey-whitish dashes beneath it. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
