The wingspan is 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). The forewings are pale rosy-ochreous irrorated (speckled) with ferruginous and with the veins partially obscurely indicated with fuscous and whitish irroration. The markings are undefined, formed of brown-reddish suffusion more or less irrorated or marked with black. There are three small oblique semi-oval spots on the anterior half of the costa and a series of short marks along the fold, as well as two longitudinal marks in the disc representing the stigmata. There is also a series of spots beneath the posterior half of the costa and along the termen. The hindwings are pale grey, becoming darker posteriorly.[2]
