The wingspan is 37–41 mm. The ground color of the forewings is ashy gray, mixed with fuscous and white scales and with a broad, light median fascia and an area of the same shade before the termen, both formed by the numerous overlying white scales. There is a small fuscous spot in the cell, from the apex inwardly to vein 7, then indistinctly to the tornus. There is an irregular narrow dentate fuscous line and the termed is broadly grayish fuscous. The hindwings are light smoky. Adults have been recorded on wing in September and October.[2]
