The length of the forewings is 6.6–8.4 mm. The forewings are brownish orange or reddish golden, with darker scales. There is a dark brown line on the costa and the transverse lines are also dark brown. The hindwings are off-white basally. The termen is brassy with dark brown scales, fading into a pearly basal area. Adults have been recorded on wing from December to March in Costa Rica and in February in Venezuela.
