The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are ochreous yellow, speckled with brown scales and with a dot in the cell and a discocellular spot, both brown. The hindwings are light ochreous.

Etymology

The species name is said to be derived from Greek tricros (meaning three forked) and ura (meaning tail).[2] The proper word for “tail” in ancient Greek is however oura (οὐρά).[3]
