The wingspan is about 10 mm for males and 12 mm for females. The forewings are bright orange-yellow with a thick fuscous streak along the basal half of the costa. There is a faint elongate fuscous spot on the costa just beyond this, from which proceeds a faint curved line to about the middle of the hindmargin, but hardly reaching it. A few faint fuscous scales are found along the inner margin towards the base and there is a strongly marked fine black hindmarginal line, hardly reaching the margins. The hindwings are pale yellow with a very faintly indicated angulated line from the middle of the costa approaching the inner margin, but not reaching it.[2]
