The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are fuscous, finely and suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish, with a few scattered dark fuscous scales and an obscure streak of pale ochreous suffusion along the fold. There is a small dark fuscous spot beneath the costa near the base, and two others representing the discal stigmata, these three connected by white suffusion. There is also a series of dark fuscous linear dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
