The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous with the costa slenderly coppery-grey from near the base to near one-third, where it forms a short transverse mark. The costal edge beyond this is white and the plical stigma is minute and blackish, the second discal forming a blackish linear transverse mark, preceded by some whitish suffusion. There is a small greyish mark on the middle of the costa and a greyish streak from the second discal stigma to the costa rather beyond it, the apical area beyond this forming a large rounded white patch, including a rounded golden-fuscous blotch almost reaching the apical edge of which the anterior portion is produced into a blackish lobe, an incurved reddish-brown transverse streak between this and the discal mark, one or two blackish dashes crossing this towards the costa, its lower end bent out above the blackish lobe. A marginal series of blackish marks or dots is found around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
