The wingspan is 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in). The forewings are dark grey with a light ochreous-yellow basal patch extending on the costa to one-fourth and on the dorsum to near the middle, the edge slightly convex, and with a small dark grey mark on the costa near the base. There is a broad light ochreous-yellow fascia crossing the wing near and parallel to the termen, the anterior edge rather convex in the disc, the posterior irregular. The hindwings are grey, somewhat darker posteriorly.[2]
