The wingspan is about 13.5 mm. The forewings are whitish ocherous, evenly dusted with fine brown spots, and rosy tinged along the fold and in the apical third of the wing. There is an oblique brown bar from the basal third of the costa nearly to the dorsum, which is broadest on the fold. A quadrate brown patch is found at the apical third of the costa, and beneath it on the middle of the wing is a nearly circular golden-brown and rosy tinged spot.[2]
