The length of the forewings is 3–4.1 mm. The forewings are ochreous dark golden with white markings. The hindwings are pale fuscous with a long, pale fuscous fringe. Adults are on wing almost year-round except in June, July and August. The larvae feed on Brachylaena, Abutilon mauritianum, Hibiscus calyphyllus, Hibiscus lunarifolius and Pavonia.
