The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are ochreous grey. The stigmata are moderate, obscure and dark grey, slightly tending to be pale edged, the plical rather enlarged and oblique, almost beneath the first discal. There is an obscure lighter excurved transverse line from a whitish dot on the costa before three-fourths to the dorsum at four-fifths, indented above the middle, preceded and followed by moderate fasciae of darker grey suffusion. There are four dark fuscous terminal dots. The hindwings are grey.[3]
