The wingspan is about 8.5 mm. The forewings are densely speckled with dark-brown scales throughout and with an orange–white sub-basal fascia. The antemedian fascia is arched, arising from the median level of the cell and extends to the dorsum. There are also several other irregular orange-white spots.
Etymology
The species name is derived from the Greek nesos (meaning island) with the Greek superlative ending -tatos.[2]
