The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are dark violet grey with a fine yellowish supramedian line from the base to one-fourth and two slight yellow marks between the apex of this and the costa. There is a moderate blackish fascia before the middle, not reaching the dorsum. A coppery-brown-reddish patch occupies nearly all of the apical half of the wing, edged anteriorly with ochreous whitish towards the costa. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
