The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey, with fuscous markings and a row of minute dots from the costa about the middle towards the hindmargin, sharply bent in the disc at five-sixths, and continued parallel to the hindmargin to inner margin. There are a few scattered fuscous scales in the disc and there is a row of dots along the costa from four-fifths to the apex, and along the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are grey.[3]
