The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-grey ochreous irrorated dark fuscous, more or less suffused whitish in the disc and with blackish dots beneath the costa near the base and before one-third, and beneath the fold at one-fifth. The stigmata are black, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There are also cloudy dark fuscous dots along the costa posteriorly and the termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
