The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellow with blackish markings. There is an irregular ill-defined more or less interrupted narrow subbasal fascia and a very broad transverse band from before the middle to five-sixths defined by more or less expressed blackish interneural streaks, leaving strong ochreous-yellow lines on the veins. There is a subterminal streak of suffusion towards the tornus only. The hindwings are blackish-grey, with a whitish-ochreous ante-apical mark.[3]
