The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are deep fuscous purple with the dorsal edge shortly ochreous yellow near the base and with a slender ochreous-yellow streak mixed ferruginous brown along the fold throughout. A blackish dot is found on the lower edge of this at one-fifth of the wing, and one beneath the costa before one-third, finely edged with yellowish posteriorly. The stigmata are black, the plical obliquely before the first discal, the discal connected by a slender ochreous-yellow streak continued along the termen to the apex. Two or three small undefined yellowish dots are found on the costa posteriorly. The hindwings are grey.[2]
