The wingspan is 14–15 mm. The forewings are ochreous-grey, sometimes much suffused with whitish, especially towards the costa. There is a small blackish mark on the base of the costa and a rounded-triangular blackish blotch edged with whitish extending on the dorsum from one-fifth to beyond the middle, and reaching four-fifths across the wing. There is an oblique black white-edged strigula from the middle of costa and a rounded triangular dark fuscous blotch crossing the wing posteriorly, its base formed by a whitish line from five-sixths of the costa to the tornus, its lower side margined by a curved whitish line preceded by a blackish line, of which the extremity is somewhat enlarged to indicate the second discal stigma, edged anteriorly with whitish on the transverse vein. A black line is found on the apical portion of the costa. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly.[2]
