The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are light grey tinged ochreous with a suffused white costal stripe from the base to beyond the middle. The stigmata are dark grey, edged with white posteriorly, the plical somewhat obliquely before the first discal. The costal stripe is terminated by an ochreous-brownish transverse line angulated in the middle, followed by a white line from the costa, edged brownish posteriorly, not reaching half across the wing. The area beyond this is white closely speckled, dark grey, on the apical part of the costa terminated by an ochreous-brown line, on the termen by a white line with bars to the middle and the dorsal end of the angulated line. There are three black dots on the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
