The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are pale whitish fuscous with the markings ferruginous brown and the costal edge ferruginous brownish. There is a transverse line from one-fifth of the costa to one-fifth of the dorsum, strongly angulated outwards above the middle, with a posterior projection in the middle, produced as a faint line through the disc. The plical stigma is blackish and there is a slightly curved line from the middle of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, dilated at the extremities, and in the middle expanded posteriorly into a triangular spot containing a spot of ground colour. The ground colour between this and the following line is tinged with ferruginous brownish and there is a triangular spot on the costa at three-fourths, where a fine indistinct curved line runs to the dorsum before the tornus. There is also a series of dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous whitish.[2]
