The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are yellowish-green without defined markings, although there is a brownish streak on the base of the costa and a minute dot beneath the mid-costa, as well as traces of a pale-fuscous dentate transverse line and some fuscous suffusion at the tornus. The hindwings are pale-pinkish with a narrow dark-fuscous sub-dorsal blotch.[2]
