The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous speckled with whitish, somewhat sprinkled darker fuscous and with a large dark fuscous rounded-triangular blotch on the middle of the costa, reaching more than halfway across the wing. There is a slight dark fuscous strigula beneath the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are violet blue hyaline, with the veins and termen irregularly suffused with grey and the apical third grey.
