The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are light ochreous brown, with a few scattered dark grey specks. The costal edge is light dull rosy, with some slight fuscous suffusion beneath this from the base to beyond the middle and a faintly infuscated hardly defiĀned shade from the dorsum at one-fourth to the costa before the middle. The second discal stigma forms a small oval grey-whitish spot, edged light fuscous. There is also a slight oblique light fuscous mark from the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are pale greyish, with the apex slightly tinged whitish ochreous.[2]
