The wingspan is 22-25 mm for males and about 31 mm for females. The forewings are whitish sparsely irrorated with grey scales and grey below the fold. There is a grey dot on the fold below the middle, and a single or double dot in the disc at two-thirds, sometimes obsolete. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[2]
