The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are ochreous whitish, mixed with dark fuscous and reddish fuscous, in the posterior part of the disc, the dark scales form lines along the veins. There is a large oval green suffusion on the dorsum from one-fifth nearly to the tornus, reaching nearly to the middle of the disc, and there is a slight green suffusion at the apex, as well as a series of minute dark-fuscous dots on the termen and apical fourth of the costa.
