The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white tinged blue, strewn with scattered black scales except towards the base. There are black median and subdorsal dots very near the base, and three others in a slightly curved transverse series at one-fifth. The hindwings are grey.

The larvae feed on Eugenia jambolana.
