The wingspan is 23–24 mm. The forewings are brown, on the costal half more or less suffused crimson except towards the termen and with an undefined patch of crimson-yellowish suffusion towards the costa somewhat before the middle, its anterior edge forming a small more distinct yellow spot. The second discal stigma is minute and white and there is a white semifusiform mark on the costa about three-fourths. The veins tend to be marked with very fine dark fuscous lines, with a stronger streak on 1b. There is also a suffused white terminal line, with some irroration preceding it. The hindwings are grey.[2]
