The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are shining purplish grey, but the costa and a line of marginal dots are yellow. There is a square, pale yellow, dark-edged spot in the middle of the cell and a larger irregularly reniform pale yellow blotch from the costa beyond the cell, with a darker dentate outer edge and a faint yellowish spot or two obliquely below it towards the base. The hindwings are like the forewings, but without an inner spot.[2]
