The wingspan is about 13 mm for males and 14 mm for females. The forewings are hair brown, with a small, pinkish buff macula on the costa at two-thirds and one at the tornus with indications of a fascia between them. The apical area beyond the macula is tinged with bister and there are three black, small maculae, one in the middle and one at the end of the cell, a third just beyond the middle of the plical fold. A few black scales are found at one-third of the inner margin. The hindwings are hair brown, densely irrorated (sprinkled) with dark mouse grey.[3]
