The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ochreous fuscous, irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish and with a snow-white streak along the costa from the base to near the apex, bordered beneath by a broader rather dark ochreous-fuscous streak without white irroration, extending from the base to the apex. There is a short white longitudinal dash on the lower margin of the dark streak about the middle or obscurely continued to the base. The hindwings are rather light fuscous.[2]
