The wingspan is 14-15 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, with some scattered fuscous or dark fuscous specks and with the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base. The discal stigmata are blackish. There is a rather dark fuscous streak along the dorsum from one-fourth to three-fourths, broad in the middle and narrowed to the extremities.
