The length of the forewings is 14–18 mm. There is a terminal and costal band on the forewings. Both bands have a combination of dark brown and light brown scales, with a purple gloss. The terminal band on the hindwings is brown and has less purple gloss. The translucent white area of the hindwing has a small brown dot.[2]
