The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are white with a grey dot on the base of the costa. There are oblique grey marks from the costa at one-fourth and the middle, a grey dot obliquely beyond the apex of the first. The stigmata are faint and grey, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a grey dot on the costa at two-thirds, and another close beneath it. There is an excurved series of cloudy grey dots from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, slightly sinuate towards the costa, interrupted above and below two median dots. The hindwings are white.[2]
