The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are purple-blackish with a white dorsal streak from the base to the tornus, attenuated near the base, the upper edge forming three triangular prominences between one-fourth and the tornus, then continued as a slender irregular streak along the termen to the apex and there is a small white mark on the costa towards the apex. The hindwings are grey.[3] Hu
