The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous suffusedly irrorated with brownish-crimson. The extreme costal edge is whitish and the stigmata is dark fuscous, the plical spot obliquely beyond the first discal spot and there are triangular costal and dorsal patches of crimson-greyish suffusion meeting on the second discal stigma.
