The wingspan is 14–16.5 mm. The forewings are brown except for a dark brown area along the distal one-fourth of the costal margin and termen. The markings are red, consisting of a triangular spot near the base across the fold, a slightly S-shaped stripe at two-thirds, large spots at two-fifths and two-thirds of the cell, as well as at two-thirds and below one-third of the fold.
