The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are white, the dorsal two-fifths suffusedly mixed grey, in males a small scaletuft on the extreme base of the costa, beneath this is a suffused grey dot and a suffused dark grey elongate blotch along the basal third of the dorsum, as well as a very oblique dark fuscous line formed by small spots representing the first discal and plical stigmata, a short streak from the costa at in one-fifth in females, in males not quite reaching the costa, and a subquadrate blotch on the middle of the dorsum. There is a second oblique dark fuscous line formed by a streak from the middle of the costa, less developed in males, an elongate spot representing the second discal stigma, and the anterior end of an oblong pre-tornal blotch. A third oblique dark fuscous line is found from the costa at three-fourths, running to the posterior end of this blotch. Four or five dark fuscous marginal dots are found around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish grey in males and light grey in females, in males with an ochreous-whitish hair-pencil from the base beneath the costa reaching to beyond the middle.[2]
