The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are crimson, with numerous small pale yellow spots arranged in series. The costal edge is crimson, beneath this a narrow dark grey streak throughout continued around the termen to the tornus. There is a small dark grey spot on the dorsum at two-fifths, from which some slight grey suffusion runs to the dark grey second discal stigma. There is also a curved fascia of grey suffusion tending to be broken into streaks from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are whitish, suffused light rosy pink except towards the base, with the basal hairs tinged ochreous.[2]
