The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are rather light bronzy fuscous with some irregular indistinct whitish suffusion towards the base of the dorsum, along the fold, and on the apical third. The stigmata are darker fuscous and indistinct, the first discal beyond the middle, approximated to the second, the plical very obliquely before the first discal. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[https://archive.org/stream/annalsoftran319111912tran#page/312/mode/1up Annals of the Transvaal Museum 3 (4): 312] {{PD Notice}}
