The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, slightly whitish-sprinkled, streaked with ochreous-brown between the veins in the disc. There is a slender black streak along the sub-median fold from near the base to the middle of the wing, edged above by a whitish streak. There is a slender black streak in the disc from the middle to near three-fourths, as well as a streak of blackish suffusion along the upper part of the termen to the apex.
