The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are white, dusted with dark fuscous and with a strongly suffused dark fuscous streak along the costa, limited below by the cell and the course of vein 9. This suffusion forms transverse short bands across the cell: at one-third, two-thirds and along the closing vein. There is a broader, strongly outwards-oblique suffused band from the lower edge of the costal streak before its end, towards the tornus, reaching halfway across the wing, more distinct on the veins. The apex and termen with an ochreous-fuscous band, edged anteriorly by dark fuscous suffusion, broad in the apex, rather abruptly narrowing downwards, reaching to the tornus. The hindwings are unicolorous light fuscous ochreous with a silky gloss.[2]
