The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are blackish with an elongate-oval ochreous-yellow spot beneath the costa near the base, and a shorter elongate almost adjacent the spot beneath it. There is a round ochreous-yellow blotch in the middle of the disc and the extreme apical edge is white. The hindwings are ochreous yellow, the base irregularly blackish, prominent in the disc, and sending a subdorsal streak into the terminal band. There is a broad blackish terminal band, the edge triangularly prominent below the middle.[2]
