The wingspan is about 34 mm. The basal part of the forewings is black-brown variegated with buffish cinnamon, while the costal area is buffish cinnamon. There is an oblique brown-black transverse line just beyond the middle of the wing with two dark crimson streaks across its upper end. The outer area is black-brown and the apical area and short streaks of varying length running in from the fringe along veins 4, 5, 6 and 7 are buff. There is a small white stigma. The costal area of the hindwings is buffy cinnamon, while the rest of the wing is black-brown. An antemedian brown-black line runs in from the abdominal margin to the pale costal area ; fringe dark crimson.[3]
