Imago (fig. 34): Wingspan 10–13 mm . Head and appendages pale orange-brown, palpi porrect, maxillary palpus ¾ diameter of eye, labial palpus 1.5 × diameter of eye, antenna ⅔ length of forewing. Thorax and tegulae pale orangebrown. Forewing ground colour pale orange-brown, costa with various clusters of dark fuscous scales, antemedian fascia a dark fuscous line angled at costa then bent towards dorsum making an irregular line, an oblique fuscous discal spot, second fascia similar to first meeting costa at ⅔, a sequence of blackish dots before termen, fringe with dark brown line. Hindwing plain, paler than forewing. Legs whitish with a scattering of dark fuscous scales. Male genitalia (fig. 71): Uncus a rounded triangle, gnathos reaching as far as uncus, heavily sclerotised near apex; valva broad at base then narrow with distal ¼ bent downwards; aedeagus partly curved, cornuti comprised of two serrate strips ¼ length of aedeagus. Female genitalia (fig. 98): Ostium weak, about half width of ovipositor, antrum sclerotised, three times as long as wide, ductus widening gradually from antrum to corpus bursae, a sclerotised ring before corpus, corpus spherical much of the interior covered with minute spines. Diagnosis: Distinguished from other species in the genus by its comparatively small size, and the oblique discal spot between the two fascias of the forewing; in the male genitalia by the shape of the distal part of the valva.
