The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are light greyish ochreous, slightly sprinkled white towards the costa. There are dots of one or two black scales at the base of the costa, and near the base in the middle. There are also spots of fuscous suffusion mixed blackish on the costa towards the base, and in the disc at one-fourth. There are also spots of ferruginous-brown suffusion on the costa at one-third, the middle, and four-fifths. A dark brown spot is found in the disc at two-fifths, and an irregular-elongate ferruginous tuft beneath it on the fold. There is a narrow oblique transverse-oval white ring on the end of the cell, the lower end filled ferruginous, a few black scales scattered beneath this. There is a triangular nearly apical fuscous patch mixed blackish and pale leaden blue, preceded by ochreous-yellowish suffusion, before which is a narrow transverse streak of fuscous and black scales in the disc. The termen and apical part of the costa are narrowly fuscous. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
