The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous with dark fuscous suffusion occupying the base, the dorsal area, apical third, a narrow costal streak forming a spot beyond the middle, and a very oblique fascia from the costa at one-third to the dorsum before the tornus, the apical area including a pale ochreous transverse line acutely angulated in the disc and indented below this. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical beneath the first discal, these forming small round spots on the edges of oblique fascia, the second discal forming a larger oval spot. The hindwings are dark grey, paler and thinly scaled towards the base.[2]
