The wingspan is 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). The forewings are rather dark ferruginous fuscous, towards the dorsum between one-fourth and the tornus ferruginous ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous. There are three ochreous-white fasciae, becoming silvery metallic on the lower half, the first from the costa at one-fourth, outwardly oblique, the second median, vertical, including a dark fuscous dot above the middle, the third from three-fourths of the costa, inwardly oblique, interrupted in the middle. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
