The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are whitish fuscous, mixed with dull greenish and with a rather broad black outwardly oblique fascia from one-third of the costa to three-fourths across the wing. There is a fine black dentate line, from the costa at two-fifths to the inner margin at one-third, strongly angulated outwards in the middle. There is a narrow black streak from the costa just before three-fourths to halfway across the wing, then continued as a suffused fascia to the anal angle. There is also a dentate line along the termen. The hindwings are black and thinly scaled.[2]
