The wingspan is 17–21 mm. The forewings are lilac whitish, sometimes partially irrorated pale greyish and with three ill-defined irregular rather oblique-transverse somewhat curved brown lines rising from irregular triangular blackish-grey spots beneath the yellowish-white costal edge. There is a dark grey marginal line or series of blackish-grey dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
