The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are orange with dark purple-fuscous markings. There is a broad costal streak from the base to two-fifths, confluent with an undefined antemedian fascia, which is also connected with the base by a subdorsal line. There is a patch occupying the terminal half of the wing, the anterior edge almost straight, blackish, running from the middle of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsum, enclosing an erect orange blotch from the tornus, reaching three-fourths across the wing, and a narrow orange suffusion along the costa about four-fifths. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
