The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are dark slaty fuscous. The stigmata are small and black, the discal approximated, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a small flattened-triangular pale ochreous-yellowish spot on the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
