The wingspan is about 12 mm. There are three ocellated spots on the forewings, one on the disc, one at the end of the disc, and one on the fold. They are ocherous, with a brown pupil. There is also a small ocherous basal streak near the costal margin. The hindwings are pale greyish, with a slight fuscous tinge.
