The wingspan is 10-10.5 mm. The forewings are pale gray from just beyond the base to one-half. There are a few dark gray scales at the base and some on the middle third near the costa. There are also five patches of raised scales and a row of three dark gray spots on the outer margin. The hindwings are gray.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from June to July.
