The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are similar to those of Torodora aritai in colour pattern. The ground colour is brown with a small yellowish-white patch at four-fifths of the costa and a dark brown spot at the end of the cell, and another small spot at the middle. The hindwings are grey.

## Etymology

The species name refers to the shape of the uncus and is derived from Greek pente (meaning five).[2]
