The wingspan is 22–25 mm. The forewings are fuscous, tinged with ochreous. The lines are darker fuscous. The hindwings are fuscous, towards the base sometimes whitish and there is an outwardly-curved fuscous line from the costa to the dorsum, as well as a finely dentate line from the costa, not reaching the dorsum.[2]
