The wingspan is about 15.5 mm. The forewings are pale orange to orange grey, with brownish scales and dark brown scales scattered irregularly, but more dense in the posterior and lower portion of the wing. There are basal blackish fascia present at the upper base and two well-developed blackish discal spots, the middle one smaller and the terminal one much larger. The hindwings are silvery white.
Etymology
The species name refers to the blackish stigma on the forewing and is derived from Greek cyano (meaning black) and stigma (meaning a spot).[2]
