The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are light grey irrorated with whitish, with a few scattered black scales and an elongate dark grey spot in the middle of the costa, preceded by two small cloudy blackish spots and followed by two others. There is a black dot beneath the costa near the base, one on the fold at two-thirds, one rather large in the disc before the middle, one on the lower edge of the median costal spot, one beneath the costa at two-thirds, one in the disc at two-thirds, one above the dorsum before the tornus, and several small groups of black scales towards the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
