Description
Individuals of this species have a measured wingspan of 18 millimeters, but this measurement comes from a single female specimen and does not necessarily represent a population average. They typically have a white frons with reddish-brown scales on the vertex, with the rest of the body primarily covered in reddish-brown and white scales. The forewing is dark reddish-brown, while the hindwing is distinguished by an orange spot in the center against a background of dark brown. The undersides of both sets of wings are uniformly dark brown with dark gray-brown-yellow fringe.[4]
