The wingspan is about 28 mm (1.1 in). The forewings are white closely speckled with black and suffused with bright pale blue except along the costal edge and at the base. There are black basal dots on the costa and in the middle and two small round black spots near the base, median and subdorsal, and three others near beyond these: subcostal, median, and subdorsal. The hindwings are pale grey tinged with whitish.[2]
