The length of the forewing is 7–12 mm. Most of the small specimens have the forewing markings reduced to an incomplete oblique band running from the middle of the costa toward the tornus. The golden-ocherous ground colour of the forewing is more or less mottled with brown or ferruginous. The hindwings are white, ocherous white or pale cinereous (ash grey), in some specimens distinctly speckled with grey.[3]
