The wingspan is about 22 mm. Adults are golden yellow, the forewings with a purplish fuscous costal half and a dark point on the base of the inner margin. There is an curved antemedial black line. There is a wedge shaped yellow mark on the costa. The hindwings have a discoidal point and a sinuous series of points that represent the postmedial line.
