The wingspan is 9-14 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-grey. The stigmata are represented by small obscure darker spots, sometimes nearly obsolete, the plical somewhat beyond the first discal, the second discal transverse-oval. There is a small whitish mark on the costa at three-fourths, where sometimes a faint slightly curved line of whitish scales runs to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
