The wingspan is 17–21 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous, golden tinged with a slender silvery-white attenuated streak immediately beneath the costa from near the base to beyond the middle and a whitish line from beneath this at one-third to the costa at three-fourths, and another from beneath this beyond the middle to the costa before the apex. There is a moderately broad straight entire silvery-white longitudinal median streak from the base to the apex and a similar narrower parallel streak from the inner margin at one-third to the hind margin below the middle. The hindwings are whitish ochreous, with the anal angle yellow ochreous.
