The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are grey with obscure ochreous streaks from the base beneath the costa to one-third, along the fold, and in the middle from one-third to the termen. There is a short blackish streak on the fold near the base and a blackish discal dot at one-third and sometimes another at two-thirds. Some blackish scales are found at the apex. The hindwings are grey.[2]
