The wingspan is 17–20 mm. The forewings are yellow-ochreous, along the costa, dorsum and termen, or sometimes wholly suffused with rather dark fuscous irrorated with white and usually with a clear white median longitudinal streak from the base to the apex, but sometimes this is suffusedly mixed with fuscous. The hindwings are grey-whitish, becoming light grey posteriorly.[2]
