The wingspan is 16-17 mm. The forewings are ochreous-brown with a pale yellow basal fascia with a dark fuscous costal edge. There are four roundish pale yellow spots containing tufts and there are dark fuscous spots on the costa at two-third and the dorsum before the tornus, each preceded by a pale yellow spot. There is an irregular pale yellow mark before the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
