The wingspan is 10–13 mm.The forewings are fuscous, the dorsal half dark fuscous, the apical third pale yellow - ochreous. The costa is strigulated with dark fuscous and white. There is a long narrow curved whitish median dorsal blotch, with a dark fuscous central line. Three streaks from the costa posteriorly and the margins of the ocellus are silvery-leaden-metallic. There are several black dashes in the ocellus. The hindwings in the male are white, the apex and costa fuscous ; in the female they are fuscous.[1]
