The wingspan is 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in). The forewings are white, more or less thinly irrorated with dark fuscous and with small dark fuscous spots beneath the costa at one-sixth and one-third, and in the disc at one-sixth. There is a curved oblique dark fuscous bar from the middle of the dorsum, reaching half across the wing, sometimes interrupted. A dark fuscous spot is found on the tornus. All these markings vary in distinctness. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
