The length of the forewings is 11.2–12.2 mm. The forewing dorsal ground color is a mixture of gray-brown, reddish-brown, and beige-colored scales. The veins are lined with gray, especially distally. The anal fold and cubitus are reddish brown and the orbicular spot is diffuse reddish brown. The reniform spot is small and reddish brown. The ventral surfaces of both wings are gray brown. The dorsal hindwing is dirty gray brown, but lighter near base.
