The wingspan is 12-14 mm. The forewings are greyish fuscous with scattered darker scales. In the cell, about the middle, and at the end of the cell, are fuscous spots with a fuscous bar between and slightly dorsad. At the apical third of the costa is a fuscous streak and inside that a broken fuscous shade. Around the apex and along the termen is a series of indistinct fuscous spots. The hindwings are pale greyish buff, slightly darker toward the margins.[2]
