The wingspan is 8–12 mm. Adults are dark grey-black. The forewings have a yellowish white patch in the costal scales just before the apex. There are a few whitish scales on the apical one-fifth of wing and an incomplete V-shape of whitish scales connecting white spots at three-fourths the length of the wing.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from June to August.
