The length of the forewings is 6.2 mm for males and 6.5 mm for females. The forewings are pale orange, but fuscous from the base to white antemedial band. The area between the antemedial band and medial area is pale orange, bordered with fuscous and tinged with fuscous near the costa. The hindwings are fuscous from the base to the white antemedial band. The area between the antemedial band and medial area is pale orange.
