The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are grey, with many off-white scales before the apices and a dark brown to black dot at the base of the fold and a pair of dark dots at one-fourth length, a pair just before middle, and a very small one at end of cell, dots with a few light orange scales preceding and succeeding the brown scales. The hindwings are grey.
