The wingspan is about 12.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is cream, strigulatred (finely streaked) with ochreous and brownish and with brownish-grey markings, as well as dark brown spots and strigulae. The hindwings are cream tinged with brownish.

Etymology

The genus name refers to Worcester, the type locality of the type-species. The species name refers to the separate systematic position of the species within the Archipini tribe and is derived from Latin recorndita (meaning well distanced).[4]
