The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are white, variably irrorated (sprinkled) with grey and with a suffused dark fuscous streak along the median third of the costa, cut by two indistinct whitish strigulae, the median section longest. There are several slight white tufts irregularly placed in the disc, preceded by slight dark fuscous irroration and there are two small dark fuscous spots sometimes enveloped in brown suffusion on the costa towards the apex. There is also an erect mark of dark fuscous or blackish irroration from the tornus, sometimes thickened and suffused with brown at the origin, as well as a slender terminal streak of dark fuscous irroration hardly reaching this. The hindwings are light grey, thinly scaled, with the veins suffused dark grey.[3]
