The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous with a very short pale ochreous basal mark in the middle and a dot above it, as well as a fine pale ochreous subcostal line from the base to two-fifths, and an interrupted streak of irroration (sprinkles) above it. A similar fine line is found along the fold from the base to the middle, and one in the disc from before one-third to two-thirds. The costal edge is pale ochreous about two-thirds, with a pale ochreous dash beneath this. There are scattered pale greenish scales anteriorly, and an indistinct fascia of pale greenish irroration from two-thirds of the costa to before the middle of the dorsum. An indistinct curved series of small groups of pale greenish scales is found from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, below the middle two or three larger obscure pale ochreous spots on this. A pre-marginal series of small cloudy pale ochreous spots is found around the posterior part of the costa and termen and there is a terminal series of cloudy darker dots separated by slight pale marks. The hindwings are dark grey.
