The length of the forewings is 6.2 mm. The forewing colour consists of brownish orange intermixed with dark-brown scales mostly along thew costal margin and apical one-third. There are two discal spots, one near the base and one near the apical end. The marginal scales are dark brown. The hindwings are pale brown, with elongate scales on the basal two-thirds.

Etymology

The species name refers to the shape of the outer margin of the valva and is derived from Latin lunatus (meaning crescent-shaped).
