The wingspan is 17–22 mm. The forewings are black with white markings. There is a white costal streak, outwardly oblique from before the basal fourth, reaching to the fold and a smaller inwardly oblique costal streak at the apical fourth with a similar white dorsal streak opposite to it. A short longitudinal white spot is found on the middle of the cell and there is a minute white dot on the middle of the fold and a few white scales at the apex.
The larvae feed on Polygonum maritunum.[3]
