The length of the forewings is about 14 mm. The forewings are pale greyish orange, covered with brown scales throughout. The median costal patch is elongated and trapezoidal, separated by a greyish-orange stripe basally and accompanied by a small, dark patch bordered with a greyish-orange stripe.

The species name refers to the egg-shaped eighth tergite of the abdomen and is derived from Latin ovatus. [3]
