The wingspan is about 32 mm. The wings are chestnut brown, the forewings slightly irrorated (sprinkled) with silvery grey. The medial and postmedial dark lines are angled below the costa and approach each other towards the inner margin. There is a blackish patch on the costa before the apex and three submarginal specks towards the inner margin. The hindwings are chestnut brown, slightly irrorated with silvery grey and indistinct curved ante- and postmedial lines.[4]
