The wingspan is 30-32 mm. The forewings are pale pink (slightly inclined to rosy-purple) or greyish-pink. The costa is narrowly pink, the extreme edge whitish. The markings are inconspicuous are fuscous or partly reddish. The first discal is found at one-third, the plical beyond it and the second discal before two-thirds. There is a line of minute dots from the mid-costa obliquely outwards, sharply angled midway between the second discal and the apex, then curved inwards to the tornus. There is a terminal series of dots. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, slightly suffused with grey, except near the base.[3]
