The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are white with fuscous markings. There is a suffused spot on the dorsum before the middle and a spot on the tornus, as well as a dot on the costa at two-fifths. A costal spot is found on four-fifths opposite another on the middle of the termen and there is a dark-fuscous apical dot. The hindwings are grey.[2]
