The wingspan is about 25 mm for males and 34 mm for females. The forewings are whitish-grey with a pale-orange line along the costa and a large blotch in the disc, extending to the inner margin, but not to the costa, irrorated more or less densely with reddish-brown scales. In this are two elongate pale-orange spots at two-fifths and three-fifths of the disc. A third similar spot is found on the fold obliquely below the first, sometimes obsolete. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
