The length of the forewings is about 12.5 mm. The forewings are pale olive-buff with a buffy brown streak in the upper centre of the cell and a large spot below the lower angle of the cell. The terminal line, subterminal line, postmedial line and distal line are reduced to buffy brown striae. The hindwings are light-buff.
