The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are stone-grey, sprinkled with brownish-fuscous scales, with a series of three brownish-fuscous discal spots, the first diffused downwards across the fold at about one-fifth, the second a little beyond a smaller plical spot beneath it, the third at the end of the cell, of irregular shape and somewhat diffused. Above and a little beyond this is a small costal spot preceding an inverted pale cinereous costal streak, which forms the upper extremity of an ill-defined, narrow, pale cinereous fascia crossing the wing nearly parallel with the termen. The hindwings are brownish cinereous.[2]
