The wingspan is 17–18 mm. The forewings are fuscous on the anterior three-fourths, irregularly sprinkled or suffusedly marked white, and somewhat marked irregularly dark fuscous, the edge somewhat irregular-convex, the apical fourth white. There is an oblique black mark representing the second discal stigma, with a large black dot beneath its lower end, surrounded white. An irregular-edged grey transverse shade is found in the middle of the white area from a darker costal spot, sometimes nearly obsolete except the spot. There is also a marginal series of rather large partly confluent black dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
