The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochreous whitish with dark brown markings. There is a moderate basal fascia, extended as a wedge-shaped streak along the costa nearly to the middle and a moderate fascia from the costa beyond the middle to the middle of the dorsum, with a branch from its middle running to the tornus, and continued as a narrower terminal fascia to the apex. The hindwings are pale ochreous yellowish, the posterior half suffused with grey.[2]
