The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are white, the posterior half of the costa tinged with ochreous-yellowish and the costal edge blackish towards the base. The stigmata is moderately large, black and with the plical slightly beyond the first discal. There is a black dot in the middle of the disc between the stigmata, and about twenty small irregularly scattered black dots towards the margins. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.[2]
