The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, irrorated with light brownish and fuscous and with a black white-circled dot near the base above the middle and a blackish white-edged triangular patch occupying more than the median third of the costa, its costal extremities cut off by a line oblique white strigulae, the apex truncate and reaching half across the wing. A black elongate mark rests on the termen beneath the apex. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and subhyaline anteriorly, with the veins and termen suffused with dark fuscous.[3]
