The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly irrorated dark grey with a ferruginous-ochreous spot at the base of the dorsum and an oblique bar of dark grey suffusion from the base of the costa to the fold, spotted with ferruginous-ochreous on the extremities. There is an oval spot of dark grey irroration suffused with ferruginous-ochreous towards the costa at one-third. The stigmata form dark grey spots suffused with larger ferruginous-ochreous spots, the plical obliquely before the first discal. The dorsal edge is shortly ferruginous-ochreous before the tornus and a streak of ferruginous-ochreous suffusion along the lower three-fifths of the termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[3]
