The wingspan is 11-13 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, partially tinged with pale brassy-yellow and with a moderate dark fuscous costal streak from near the base to five-sixth, narrowed to the extremities, the lower edge with three blackish marks. There is a broad dark fuscous streak along the dorsum and termen to the apex, the upper edge irregularly sinuate, forming four slight prominences, and partially blackish-marked.
