The wingspan is 27-32.2 mm for males and 30.2–39 mm for females.[2] The shape of the forewings is unusual, the terminal half of the costa is strongly bowed inwards and the apex is not strongly falcate (sickle shaped) but the outer margin below it is deeply concave and then distinctly arched. There is an orange shadow on the forewings extending from the apex to the outer one third of the inner margin. There are also two white patches ringed by brown lines.[3]
