The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are bright ochreous, the costal margin broadly smeared with purplish-brown to within one-third of the apex. There is a small patch of raised scales of the same colour on the dorsal margin near the base. The dorsal margin is shaded beyond the middle with purplish-brown, but this does not reach beyond the anal angle. The fringes are bright ochreous at the base, outwardly purplish-grey, the two colours being separated by a slender dark brown line. The hindwings are brownish-grey, with pale ochreous fringes, tipped with shining grey.[2]
