The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are shining pale neutral grey becoming gradually darker distally, the distal third of the wing overlaid with fuscous black. There are two small white preapical dots on the costa and a whitish tornal dash extending obliquely towards the apex and preceded by a similar, parallel, shorter dash from the inner margin at two-thirds. The hindwings are mouse grey, with a small black dot at the apex.[2]
