The wingspan is about 15 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is light grey with a moderately distinct red-brown costal triangle, a small black basal dash below the costa and fine black lines along the cubital and anal veins and along the inner edge of the costal triangle.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing nearly year round in the south.
