The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are pale grey suffused with white, with a few scattered dark fuscous scales. The markings are fuscous suffusedly irrorated with black and with a narrow basal fascia, widest on the dorsum, the edge convex. There are small spots transversely placed, representing the plical and first discal stigmata. A transverse blotch is found from the dorsum towards the tornus reaching two-thirds across the wing, with a strong projection from its anterior edge in the middle of the disc. There is also a small cloudy spot on the costa at two-thirds and a small apical spot, as well as two black dots on the termen beneath it. The hindwings are grey.[2]
