The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are dull yellowish white, minutely dusted (almost suffused) with pale brownish. A pair of partly connected spots at one-third, placed obliquely on the disc and fold respectively, are followed by a parallel pair at the end of the cell, all these are darker than the brown dusting around them, and are mixed with a few black scales, these occurring also about the base of the dirty whitish cilia. The hindwings are dark brownish grey.[2]
