The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are whitish grey with a very fine yellowish suffusion, and a black pattern. There is a minute spot in the cell at one-third, a somewhat elongated small spot in the fold, two minute spots on the discocellulars, far removed from each other (these spots are considerably bigger in females) and an irroration along the costa and more sparsely in the apical third. The hindwings are medium grey.[3]
