The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are fuscous, towards the costa anteriorly suffused with purplish, towards the costa posteriorly and termen brownish. The costal edge is dark fuscous except towards the apex and there is a white dot towards the costa at one-third and a very fine white line along the fold from the base to near the middle. The discal stigmata are obscurely darker, connected by a white line, the second followed by a short white dash. There are several white dashes between the second discal and the tornus. A cloudy somewhat interrupted curved white line is found from beneath the costa at four-fifths to the tornus. The hindwings are fuscous, rather darker posteriorly.[2]
