The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are grey, irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish scales tipped with dark fuscous. There is an obscure undefined subbasal fascia of darker irroration. The discal stigmata form spots of dark fuscous irroration, the space between them more whitish suffused. The hindwings are grey.[3]
