The wingspan is 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in). The forewings are rather dark grey, more or less suffusedly irrorated with whitish-ochreous with a blackish-fuscous flattened-triangular spot above the fold towards the base, and a rather oblique rhomboidal blotch in the disc before the middle united by a suffused streak along the fold. There are two faint darker dots transversely placed on the end of the cell, as well as a dark terminal fascia formed by the absence of pale irroration, limited by an obscure pale line from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, obtusely angulated near the costa. The hindwings are grey.[3]
