The wingspan is 7–10 mm. The forewings are dark grey, with the tips of the scales whitish, forming a minute transverse striolation (faint lines). There is some blackish or dark grey suffusion along the costa from about the middle to near the apex, cut by a fine whitish oblique strigula at three-fourths. The plical and first discal stigmata form small suffused dark spots, the plical anterior, the second discal in the form of a dark dot on the lower angle of the cell. There are two black marginal dots above and below the apex, the upper larger. The hindwings are grey, lighter anteriorly, the veins suffused dark grey.[2]
