The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are purplish-grey irrorated with dark fuscous, more or less variably mixed or suffused with pale greyish-ochreous except towards the costa and dorsum, the costa suffused with dark fuscous. There is a small dark fuscous spot on the fold before one-fourth. The stigmata are represented by similar spots, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a fine oblique white strigula from the costa at three-fourths and a black mark along the apical part of the costa, and four black dots or groups of scales along the termen. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly, with a fringe of long hairs from the lower margin of the cell.[2]
