Appearance

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey and with a red streak along the basal third of the costa, bordered beneath by an ochreous-white streak, of which the posterior extremity forms an oblong spot surrounded by a dark grey line and there is a broad yellow streak, margined beneath with red except on the fascia, along the middle third of the costa, the apex suddenly pointed. There is a rather narrow silvery-white direct fascia somewhat before the middle, terminated above by yellow streak, margined anteriorly with red, posteriorly with dark grey and then more broadly with red. There is a rather narrow silvery-white fascia, margined with red all around, from beneath the costa at two-thirds along the costa to the apex, then along the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are white.
