The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous, sprinkled with dark fuscous, the margins irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with blackish fuscous, especially along the costa. There is a blackish mark beneath the costa near the base and an oblique blackish mark from the dorsum at one-fourth, as well as an oblique transverse blackish-fuscous blotch representing the combined plical and first discal stigmata, a subtriangular spot representing the second discal.
