The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are bronzy blackish with metallic leaden-grey markings. There is a basal patch occupying one-fourth of the wing, the edge nearly straight, direct, including an oval blackish spot in the disc. A fascia is found from the middle of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsum, narrow and white on the costal edge, strongly expanded on the dorsum, including a transverse blackish mark in the disc. There is also a direct transverse costal mark at three-fourths, white on the costa. A transverse blotch is found from the lower part of the termen reaching two-thirds across the wing. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
