The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are dark chestnut brown, with undefined markings, formed by moss-green irroration (sprinkles) and suffusion. There is a patch occupying the basal two-fifths, connected by a median projection with a narrow, slightly incurved postmedian fascia (its costal edge whitish ochreous), some scattered scales beyond this outlining two dark spots on the end of the cell, and subcostal and submedian spots near the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
