The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are ochraceous on, suffused with fuscous, more so in distal one-third, the latter part divided by a submarginal band of ground colour. There are blackish-fuscous markings, including a patch at the base of the costa, a speck below the costa at one-third, a large triangular patch between and below these two and a smaller discocellular spot towards the base. The hindwings are greyish brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in June and August.
