The wingspan is 20–23 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, irregularly and suffusedly strigulated (finely-streaked) light ochreous yellow, sometimes coalescing in irregular spots and markings especially on the anterior half. There is a nearly straight transverse light ochreous-yellow median streak, slightly interrupted in the middle beneath a longitudinal bar crossing it, a curved mark beyond this limiting the transverse vein posteriorly. An irregular ochreous-yellow spot is found on the costa about two-thirds, and another on the costa before the apex, where a bisinuate streak runs near the termen to the tornus. There is also a very fine irregular pale yellowish terminal line. The hindwings are prismatic hyaline, with the veins dark fuscous and with a dark fuscous apical blotch occupying one-fourth to one-third of the wing, and reaching the middle of the termen, the terminal edge below this suffusedly dark fuscous.
