The wingspan is about 23 mm.

The first discal stigma is blackish, transverse, beyond this a lobe of whitish suffusion projecting from the costal streak. There are two or three short blackish dashes towards the costa beyond the middle. The second discal stigma is obscure and whitish and there is an indistinct acutely angulated shade of whitish irroration from the end of the costal streak to the tornus, as well as a marginal series of cloudy subconfluent dots of whitish irroration around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
