The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are shining bluish white, with an elongate bright orange patch preceding the apex and reaching the costa but not the dorsum.

Before and below the spot is an outwardly curved greyish shade, partly enclosing an elongate silver-white oblique streak along the tornus. Alternate orange and greyish-fuscous lines diverge downwards from the apex through the upper half of the cilia, which are plain greyish white about the tornus. The hindwings are pale blue-grey. [2]
