The wingspan is 12–13 mm (0.47–0.51 in). The forewings are pale yellow-ochreous with a very small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa, and an elongate dark fuscous mark at two-thirds, the costa between these obscurely dotted with dark fuscous. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical rather large, slightly before the first discal. There is also a narrow rather dark purplish-fuscous terminal fascia which is widest at the apex and narrowed to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[3]
