The wingspan is 20–23 mm. The forewings are light Brussels brown with a rufous costa on the extreme edge. There are twelve tiny salmon-buff spots from the apical half of the costa, around the termen to the tornus, and in the middle of the cell, a fuscous spot is found. On the fold is a similarly colored, larger spot, and a short fuscous transverse dash is found at the end of the cell.Toward the subterminal region, five fuscous spots are present, each preceded inwardly by buff scales, and the termen has a narrow fuscous edge. The hindwings are very pale grayish fuscous.[2]
