The length of the forewings is 9.5–10.5 mm for males and 9–10 mm for females. The forewings are gray, with numerous grayish-brown scales. The hindwings are slightly paler than the forewings. Adults are on wing in February, March and April.

The species is named in honor of Vernon A. Brou, a collector of Louisiana Lepidoptera.
