The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are shining-white with the apical fourth bright orange from the costa to the termen. A suffused grey dorsal spot precedes the orange area and there is a black spot at the apex and a black dot on the termen above the middle, preceded by a white dot. The hindwings are pale-grey, with the apical process ochreous-tinged towards the extremities and a black dot on the extreme apex.[2]
