The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are very dark purplish with a white spot on the costa at the apical third, shaded with black anteriorly. There are two black discal spots shaded with white near the middle of the wing and a similar one on the fold, below the first and nearer the base. The hindwings are yellowish.[4]
