The wingspan is 9.5–10 mm. The forewings are pale yellow, with scattered dark brown scales and with the costal margin dark brown along the basal five-sixths and with a dark brown spot before the apex. There is a longitudinal dark brown stripe in the distal half of the cell and the fold is brown, the dorsum dark brown and there is a broad dark brown fascia along the termen. The apex is dark brown. The hindwings are grey.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the Latin prefix parv- (meaning small) and the name of another species, Dichomeris sexafurca, referring to the sicae of this species being smaller than that in D. sexafurca.[2]
