The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are purplish fuscous, sprinkled with blackish. The median third is obscurely streaked with whitish on the veins and there is a narrow irregular orange transverse fascia from three-fifths of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum. A triangular spot of whitish suffusion is found on the costa at about four-fifths, and an irregular suffused whitish streak immediately before the termen.
