The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The base and basal two-thirds of the costa of the forewings are fuscous. There is a yellow subbasal fascia from the dorsum to the costa, which is edged with brown. The medial area of the wing is scattered with dark brown scales and the terminal area is yellow. The hindwings have a yellow subbasal fascia, edged with brown, as well as a silver-grey spot on the inner margin.[2]
