The wingspan is 12-12.5 mm. The forewings are darker reddish brown with one short longitudinal streak on the fold and one similar one in the middle of the wing. Both these are black. The second discal stigma is circular and black. A thin white line is found from the costal apical one-fourth very obliquely outward across the wing to the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
