The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, mixed with whitish and sprinkled with dark fuscous or blackish. The costal edge is slenderly white. The plical stigma is distinct, blackish and sometimes with the first discal obliquely beyond it. There is an elongate blackish dot below the usual position of the second discal stigma. The hindwings are pale grey or grey-whitish.[2]
