The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are reddish chestnut, with a patch of reddish ochreous, slightly raised scales on either side of the fold at about one-fourth and a small dark chestnut spot at the end of the cell, as well as an elongate transverse dark chestnut shade, separated from the termen by a shining lilac marginal line, which is widened upward to the apex, where it is diffused and diluted inward over the wing-surface, at least as far as the upper angle of the cell. The hindwings are golden-yellow.[3]
