The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are dark-fuscous with slightly darker lines and a whitish subcostal dot. The postmedian line is wavy, bent above the tornus to below the end of the cell. It is edged posteriorly by a few whitish dots, and on the costa by a short whitish streak. The hindwings are dark-fuscous, towards the base mixed with whitish.[2]
