The wingspan is 13–15 mm. The forewings are deep bronzy black with four white markings, namely, one large outwardly oblique white costal streak near the base, the lower tip of which crosses the fold. There is one nearly elliptical white spot on the middle of the wing, one triangular white costal spot at the beginning of the cilia, and opposite this a smaller dorsal white spot. The hindwings are light silvery fuscous, darker along the costa and toward the tip.[3]
