The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are bluish black, with the tips of the scales black, while the bases are ochreous and the middle part bluish. There is a costal yellow spot at the apical third, which is faintly connected with an opposite dorsal yellow spot by a slight transverse fascia. There are two small yellow dashes on the cell near the base, followed by black scales. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
