The wingspan is about 13 mm.[2] The forewings are light tawny greyish, the base of costal edge with a narrow dark fuscous line, followed by a yellow streak, gradually dilated posteriorly and running along the course of vein 7 and a black marginal line around the apex between the ends of veins 7 and 8. The hindwings are rather deep brownish fuscous bronze.[3]
