The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are yellow shaded with brown, the costal edge deep ochreous underlined with reddish brown. The dorsum is reddish brown with a reddish-brown area extending from the anal angle to the basal third. There is a fuscous spot in the fold at the basal third and an indistinct spot at the end of the cell, consisting of an irregular ring of reddish-brown scales enclosing a white spot.
