The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish or whitish-ochreous, irregularly sprinkled greyish or fuscous. There are three slender fuscous transverse lines forming small suffused spots on the costa, the first at one-third, straight, direct, scales rather raised, the second from the middle of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, somewhat sinuate, the second discal stigma forming a darker mark on this, the third from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, excurved in the disc, indented towards the costa. A marginal series of blackish dots is found around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish-grey, with some whitish-ochreous suffusion above the lower margin of the cell except near the base.[2]
