The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are light greyish ochreous, with some scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales, more numerous along the costa and termen. There is a small blackish subbasal spot on the costa and the plical and first discal stigmata are confluent to form a transverse blackish spot. The second discal is represented by a small yellow-ochreous spot edged with blackish. The hindwings are grey.[2]
