The wingspan is 25.5–28.5 mm. The forewings are yellow, scattered with brown scales, the markings grey brown. The antemedian line from the costal one-fourth is sinuated to one-third of the posterior margin. The proximal cellular stigma is circular and the distal cellular stigma is kidney shaped. The postmedian line is zigzaggy serrate, from the costal three-fourths, excurved around the cell, and strongly inflexed below the distal cellular stigma, then to two-thirds on the posterior margin. The postmedian area is strongly dusted with grey and alternately formed grey and yellow streaks. The vein ends on the wing margin each with a small brown dot. The fringe is yellow, the basal one-fourth grey. The hindwings are pale yellow, a darker steak at the anterior angle and a blackish dot at the posterior angle of the cell. The postmedial line is grey brown, zigzaggy serrate, with the anterior one-fourth most distinct. The postmedian area is similar to the forewing, the marginal line and fringe as the forewing, but paler at the tornus area.
