The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, with a few scattered fuscous scales. The markings are fuscous and with a narrow basal fascia slightly produced on the dorsum. There are discal dots at one-third and two-thirds, with the plical slightly beyond the first discal. There is a terminal series of dots. The hindwings are whitish.[4]
