The wingspan is 9–10 mm (0.35–0.39 in). The forewings are whitish, the dorsal half ochreous-tinged and more or less irrorated with dark fuscous. The stigmata are dark fuscous, rather obscure, with the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a wedge-shaped dark fuscous blotch, suffused beneath with yellow-ochreous, along the costa from the middle to three-fourth, acute anteriorly. There is also some ochreous suffusion towards the apex, edged on the costa with blackish. The hindwings are grey.[3]
