The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish irrorated grey with three small elongate blotches of dark grey suffusion on the costa towards the base, at one-third, and three-fifths, the third followed by an obscure whitish dot. The stigmata is indicated by short fine blackish dashes, the first discal suffused brownish, the plical least marked, slightly before the first discal, the second discal strongest, two other slight blackish-grey dashes in a line beyond this. There are some obscure blackish-grey marks on the margins towards the apex. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
