The wingspan is 12–16 mm. The forewings are brownish, more or less irrorated dark fuscous, sometimes partially suffused carmine-pink, sometimes mixed ochreous-whitish in the disc. There are dark fuscous dots towards the base near the costa and dorsum, and near the dorsum at one-fourth. There is a small suffused dark fuscous spot on or near the costa at one-third. The stigmata are suffused, dark fuscous or blackish, sometimes nearly obsolete, the plical obliquely before the first discal. Four or five ochreous-whitish lines converge to the apical projection posteriorly, one running along its lower edge. There is also a black subapical dot preceded by a silvery dot. The hindwings are grey, lighter anteriorly.[2]
