The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous. The stigmata cloudy, blackish, with the plical beneath the first discal. There is a similar less distinct spot midway between the first discal and the base and a cloudy pale ochreous dot on the costa at three-fourths. Some blackish lunate marks are found on the termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.
