The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with light reddish brown and ochreous brown, more closely and suffusedly posteriorly. There is a short black subcostal dash rising from a small blackish costal spot near the base and there are blackish spots on the costa at one-fifth and the middle, as well as three or four short black linear marks in a subcostal series on the median third. A rather oblique dark brown line or series of small spots crosses the disc about one-third and there is a black bar on the end of the cell, preceded by some dark brown clouding and small spots, and followed by a white spot, beyond this a small blackish spot, followed by yellow-ochreous suffusion extended as a fasciate streak dilated beneath to the dorsum, a dark brown line limiting this posteriorly. Three small dark brown spots are found on the costa posteriorly, and a terminal series. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the apex, and with a darker spot on the transverse vein.[2]
