The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, becoming dark fuscous on the costa and with a median streak from one-fourth to the apex, and a streak from the base of the dorsum to the fold at one-third, with numerous irregular white markings: two subcostal dashes anteriorly and one on the costa before the middle, a V-shaped mark enclosing the anterior end of the median streak, irregular lines margining the streak from the base of the dorsum, four elongate marks in the disc from one-third to four-fifths, some irregular suffusion on the dorsal area beneath these, five or six marks occupying the tornal and terminal area, a short transverse mark on the costa at four-fifths, and a longitudinal mark to the costa above the apex extended into the cilia. The hindwings are pale bluish-grey.[2]
