The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are greyish buff with a bronzy iridescence. There is a broken blackish-fuscous line from the costa, near the base, an ill-defined, outwardly oblique and another similar ill-defined line to the center of the cell from the costa at the basal fifth, then longitudinally to the end of the cell. There is a faint indication of a blackish-fuscous spot at the apical third on the costa. A fine, broken, ochreous, longitudinal line is found on the costal fold, from the base to the basal third and there are two distinct, dull-yellowish spots in the cell, with mixed ochreous and black scales. The hindwings are light greyish fuscous.[3]
