The wingspan is about 30 mm (1.2 in). The forewings are rather light ochreous grey, densely mixed with blackish grey and with a white basal fascia, as well as a broad white costal streak throughout, suddenly narrowed near the base, the lower edge cloudy and shaded off with blue whitish, interrupted by a light ochreous spot on the costa at two-thirds. There is a longitudinal yellow-ochreous patch, marked with blackish lines on the veins, extending through the lower part of the disc from near the base to three-fourths. A crescentic white spot is found in the disc at two-thirds, and a second, slightly ochreous tinged, at five-sixths. There is also a triangular white spot on the anal angle. The hindwings are grey, with the apex white.[2]
