The wingspan is 16–22 mm. The forewings are grey densely irrorated with whitish scales. The markings are grey and rather obscure and there is a dot on the costa at one-fourth, from which proceeds an outwardly oblique series of dots, the last on the fold. There is a dot on the costa at two-fifths, from which extends a second outwardly oblique series of dots ending in a larger dot in the disc at two-thirds. A third series of dots is found from the costa at three-fifths, parallel to the hindmargin to before the anal angle. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[2]
