The wingspan is 11-13 mm. The forewings are bright deep golden-bronze with a broad white costal streak from the base almost to the apex, faintly purplish-tinged, edged beneath with some dark fuscous scales, the anterior half including a light brassy-yellow streak. There is a suffused white dorsal streak from near the base to near the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey.
