The wingspan is 16-17 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, sometimes darker posteriorly. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous, with an additional dot beneath the second. There is an oblique ochreous-whitish mark from the costa at three-fourths, where a faint pale line curved or bent above the middle runs to the dorsum at five-sixths. The hindwings are pale greyish, more or less tinged whitish-ochreous.[2]
