The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are rather dark chestnut-brown, with the disc mostly suffused grey and somewhat sprinkled white and with a transverse chestnut-brown spot on the end of the cell, finely edged white except beneath. There is a leaden-grey fascia with some bluish-white marking on the costal and dorsal thirds from the costa at three-fourths to before the tornus, the upper half limited posteriorly by a slightly curved oblique dark fuscous streak edged whitish posteriorly, with a sinuation below this. There are also some white terminal dots. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
