The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dark brown with the costal apical and basal part of the dorsal edge blackish and with a dark brown cilia. There are three blackish-brown obscure round spots, one on the fold, one in the middle of the cell and one at the end of the cell. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
