The wingspan is 18 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is brownish with indistinct, diffuse dark brown markings consisting of the costal part of the median fascia followed by two spots and terminal suffusion. There is a blackish line along the cubital edge of the median cell accompanied by a short line at the end of the latter. The hindwings are brownish cream, browner terminally.

Etymology

The genus name is a combination of the name of the genus Acleris and Latin spina (meaning a spine). The species name refers to the type locality.[2]
