The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy-fuscous with the base and more than the dorsal half suffused violet-blue, an irregular oblique blue streak from the costa at one-fourth running into it, the edge of the blue portion irregularly prominent beyond the middle. There is a fine angulated blue subterminal line, tinged silvery-whitish on the dorsal area and there is a shining silvery-whitish apical spot preceded by blue suffusion. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
