The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are ashy-fuscous, longitudinally streaked with darker fuscous, these streaks running into the costa anteriorly. There is a short fine greenish dash towards the costa at one-third and two small greenish spots obliquely placed towards the dorsum before the middle. A submarginal row of greenish dots runs near and parallel to the posterior half of the costa and termen and there is a row of small brown marginal spots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
