The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are grey, the costal area from the base ochreous-whitish attenuated to two-thirds. From just beneath the basal half of the costa is a dense fringe of downwards-directed expansible pale ochreous hairs and there is a cloudy streak of dark grey suffusion extending along the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle, and a triangular blotch about three-fourths. The stigmata are cloudy and dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, these rather large, the second discal smaller, a slightly curved dark fuscous line from the middle of the costa to this. Beyond a somewhat sinuate dark fuscous line from costa at three-fourths to the tornus, the posterior area is grey-whitish and there is a large blackish apical dot, and three smaller marginal on each side of it. The hindwings are dark fuscous with a whitish-ochreous expansible subcostal hairpencil from the base to two-thirds.[2]
