The wingspan is about 25 mm for males and 32 mm for females. The costal margin of the forewings is pale yellowish and the base is light brown, containing a white dot near the inner margin. This is bordered outwardly by a pale yellowish band. The remainder of the wing is olive green. The hindwings are white in the basal third with a small green costal dot, followed by an olive-green band. The remainder of the wing is olive green.
