The wingspan is about 28 mm. There are pure white markings on the forewings. The subcostal postmedial patch is small and the postmedial line is represented by a slight series of specks bent outwards between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to below the angle of the cell. The hindwings have a postmedial band reduced to a fine line, minutely dentate and bent outwards between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to near the angle of the cell, sometimes obsolescent. Both wings have a marginal series of pale specks.[2]
