The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are shining white with the anterior edge of the costa fuscous near the base and with an inwardly-oblique fuscous-black streak from the apex, heavy and tear shaped in males, linear and reaching as a slightly sinuous line to the dorsum a little beyond the tornus in females. In both sexes this streak is preceded by a small somewhat triangular patch of apricot suffusion extending beyond the streak to the tornus. The hindwings are white.[2]
