The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are orange, with purple-fuscous markings. There is a subbasal costal spot and two broad lines from one-third of the costa, as well as a discal spot at two-thirds connected with a dot on two-thirds of the costa. There is also a small subapical costal blotch, from which a slender line extends to the costa. There is also a dotted terminal line. The hindwings are pale ochreous.[3]
