The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous-yellowish, the costal edge whitish and with a faint pale greyish clouding indicating a short oblique streak from the costa at one-fifth, an oblique fasciate streak from the costa before the middle expanded into a roundish patch in the disc, and a curved oblique fasciate streak near the apical part of the costa and upper part of the termen. There is a transverse irregular suffused rather dark grey shade on the dorsal half of the wing at one-third, nearly preceded by a roundish pale grey cloud. There is a somewhat ocellate patch from the dorsum before the tornus reaching rather more than half across the wing, edged anteriorly by an irregular rather dark grey line and posteriorly by a cloudy lighter grey shade dilated downwards. A cloudy grey somewhat dotted marginal line is found on the lower part of the termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish with the costal area rather expanded on the basal three-fifths, a whitish-grey-ochreous subcostal hairpencil from the base to three-fifths, lying in a shallow ochreous-grey streak-like groove.[2]
