The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are white, with the anterior edge of the costa cream buff and with a small, fuscous discal stigma a little above the middle at one-third, and a similar stigma obliquely below in the plical fold, and a third at the end of the cell at about the middle. A subterminal line of small, fuscous, interneural dots is found around the apex and along the termen. The hindwings are white.[2]
