The wingspan is about 18 millimetres (0.71 in). Palpi with the second joint reaching slightly beyond the frons. Hindwings with vein 3 from angle of cell or shortly stalked at vein 4. Males lack secondary sexual characteristics on the wings. Adults are ochreous, suffused with dark brown and rufous. Wings with faint traces of waved lines. A double curved postmedial line is present, where the area beyond it is paler, with dark streaks on forewings below costa and on each side of vein 5, and patches at outer angle of forewings and apex of hindwings. There is a dentate submarginal line most prominent on hindwings.[4]
