The wingspan is 36–38 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, somewhat mixed irregularly with light reddish-fuscous, sometimes with a few scattered dark fuscous specks. There is a broad white attenuated costal streak from the base to beyond the middle, edged beneath by a slender reddish-fuscous streak continued along the costa to the apex, the costal edge also more or less reddish-fuscous towards the base. There is a rather suffused semi-oval reddish-fuscous blotch extending along the dorsum from about one-fourth to near the tornus. The hindwings are light red-brownish.[2]
