The wingspan is 14–17 mm for males and 16.5-17.5 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are lustrous white, the forewings with the costa pale buff, darkening proximally. The fasciae are pale greyish buff, very weak and variable. Most specimens have medial and double lunulate subterminal fasciae and sometimes an antemedial fascia is present. Occasionally the two subterminal fasciae approximate near the apex. The hindwings are as the forewings.[2]
