The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are brownish-orange with a large basal dark-fuscous spot and a whitish line from the costa to the dorsum. There is a squarish dark fuscous blotch on the costa and a whitish fascia beyond this, containing some fuscous scales. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[2]
