The wingspan is 19-21 mm. The forewings are white or whitish-fuscous mixed with white, irrorated with dark fuscous, and with all veins irregularly streaked with blackish-fuscous. The second discal stigma is dark fuscous surrounded with white. The hindwings are fuscous, darker posteriorly, especially in females, towards the base thinly scaled and whitish.[2]
