The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous tinged with yellowish and mixed with pale ochreous-brownish. The costa, dorsum, and all veins are marked by fine white lines and there is some whitish subdorsal suffusion. The discal stigmata are small and blackish, with the plical represented by a very fine black linear mark obliquely before the first discal. The hindwings are whitish.[3]
