The moth has a wingspan of about 18 mm. The fore-wings are metallic-green, with strong coppery-purple reflection. Near the base, there is a slight black strigula originating from the costa. Additionally, there is a narrow almost straight iridescent-blue-metallic fascia located before the middle, edged on each side with blackish boarders, followed by a narrow even fascia of dark fuscous whitish-tipped scales, the posterior somewhat broader. The hindwings are characterized by a dark fuscous coloration.[2]
