The wingspan is about 29 mm for males and 43 mm for females. The forewings are whitish intimately mixed with fuscous-grey and with fuscous grey marks in the disc at one-third and beyond the middle, sometimes obsolete. There is also a fuscous-grey interrupted terminal line. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
