The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochreous fuscous, irrorated (sprinkled) with dark fuscous and with the extreme costal edge yellowish. There is a small black spot at the base of the costa and an erect black bar from the inner margin at one-third, reaching two-thirds of the way across the wing, dilated on the submedian fold. There is a small black spot on the costa at two-fifths and two dark fuscous dots transversely placed in the disc beyond the middle. A paler bent transverse line, preceded by a darker suffusion, is faintly indicated at four-fifths. The hindwings are light fuscous.[2]
