The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are blackish, irrorated with white. There is a small ochreous-yellow spot near the base, followed by a faint whitish transverse line. Both the first and second line are whitish, margined by dark. The hindwings are fuscous-grey, becoming darker posteriorly. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.[2]
