The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are brown, sprinkled with dark purplish posteriorly, paler and ochreous-tinged on the costa towards the middle and with a dark fuscous mark along the costa at the base. The stigmata is cloudy, dark fuscous, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, and with an additional spot midway between the first discal and the base.
