The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with a rather broad ochreous-whitish streak along the costa from the base, marked with very oblique cloudy dark fuscous strigulae from the costa near the base and at one-fourth, and terminated by a very oblique orange-yellow blackish-edged striga from the costa before the middle, followed by a white posteriorly black-edged strigula. There is a large mediodorsal rather oblique transverse dark fuscous blotch edged whitish, reaching three-fourths across the wing, the anterior edge strongly convex, the posterior almost straight, the apex shortly projecting posteriorly, a transverse blotch of dark fuscous suffusion edged whitish anteriorly immediately precedes this. There is also a small leaden-metallic subdorsal spot near beyond this and an indistinct transverse leaden-metallic line at three-fourths, preceded below the middle by an incomplete ochreous-whitish ring, within which is a small suffused ochreous-whitish spot and there is a small ochreous-whitish mark on the costa just beyond this, as well as a roundish patch of ochreous-whitish suffusion occupying the disc beyond this, followed by a rather excurved bluish-leaden line from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, abutting beneath on an ochreous-whitish terminal line. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
