The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are fuscous, irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish points and with two blackish dots towards the costa near the base and a dark fuscous triangular blotch occupying nearly the median third of the costa, reaching halfway across the wing, preceded on the costa by a small dark fuscous spot separated by a whitish strigula. The costa posteriorly is dark fuscous, with several fine whitish oblique strigulae and there is short black dash in the disc at four-fifths, one resting on the termen beneath the apex, and a minute one just above the tornus. The hindwings are grey, lighter and thinly scaled towards the base and with the veins darker.[3]
