The wingspan is 17-18 mm. The forewings are rosy-ochreous, the costa suffused with light yellow-ochreous and the costal edge black at the base. There is a black streak along the basal third of the dorsum and the plical stigma is well-marked and black. The second discal is minute, blackish, between this and the termen is a spot of fuscous suffusion and there is a more or less developed fuscous spot on the costa at two-thirds, sometimes little marked. A few fuscous scales are found on the termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
