The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous or ashy-fuscous, sometimes slightly whitish sprinkled. There is an elongate brown patch towards the apex, reaching the costa above the apex, terminated beneath this by a pale leaden-metallic apical spot edged with a black mark anteriorly and suffusedly extended along the upper part of the termen, preceded by a few whitish scales. There is a fine series of white scales just below the costa from four-fifths to the black mark. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
