The wingspan is 13–17 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous with the extreme costal edge pale yellowish in males, except towards the extremities. The markings are blackish, with a slight ferruginous tinge, obscurely edged with ochreous whitish. There is a variable transverse or subtriangular blotch from the dorsum before the middle, reaching three-fourths of the way across the wing.
