The wingspan is 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in). The forewings are whitish-fuscous, thinly sprinkled with fine blackish scales. The stigmata are blackish, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, sometimes an additional dot beneath the second discal, and sometimes undefined blackish dots along the posterior half of the costa. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[2]
