The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are pale moss green, with a few scattered blackish specks and the costal edge yellow ochreous. The dorsal edge is brown except near the base. An oblique brown line is found from the dorsum at one-fourth reaching half across the wing and there is a dark green ring in the disc at three-fourths, the enclosed area pale pinkish on the lower two-thirds, a dull greenish central dot, a faint brownish rather oblique line from the lower extremity to near the dorsum. There is a rather unevenly curved fine line from the costa at three-fourths to the dorsum before the tornus, the upper half darker green, the lower brown. There is also a darker green terminal line. The hindwings are pale greyish, towards the apex suffused pale greenish ochreous.[2]
