The wingspan is 15-16 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous, slightly sprinkled fuscous and with a suffused dark fuscous dot at the base of the costa. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is some dark fuscous irroration along the median third of the costa and there are transverse spots of brownish sutfusion and dark fuscous irroration from the costa and dorsum rather beyond the second discal stigma. A marginal series of cloudy dark fuscous dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
