The wingspan is 22–23 mm. The forewings are whitish, more or less suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with purplish brown and with very deep brown markings. There is a very oblique acute wedge-shaped mark from the costa near the base, limited anteriorly by a vertical white line from the costa to the fold and a small spot on the costa at one-fourth, almost connected with a transverse elongate-triangular spot in the disc beyond one-fourth. A semi-oval spot is found on the costa before the middle and there are some irregular spots towards the dorsum, as well as a transverse I-shaped mark in disc at three-fifths, beneath which is an irregular patch of dark suffusion. An elongate blotch extends from near the discal mark to near the termen, crossed by a streak of undefined suffusion from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus and there is a pale waved terminal line, preceded by a series of suffused dark dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
