The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are whitish, irregularly sprinkled grey with some blackish scales, posteriorly tending to form interneural streaks. There is a distinct white submedian streak from the base to the tornus. The stigmata are black, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, the second discal large and roundish. The hindwings are pale bluish.[2]
