The wingspan is 15-16 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish with fuscous irroration and markings, consisting of four or five costal dots at one-sixths, one-third and at the middle towards the apex. There are two suffused dorsal dots before the middle and at the tornus. The median discal spots at the middle and three-fourths are more or less defined. There are also some terminal dots. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]
