The wingspan is 20–21 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous grey with the costal edge, inner margin, and all veins obscurely lined with dull flesh colour. There is a fuscous dot beneath the costa at one-sixth and a dark fuscous dot on the fold before the middle, and a second in the disc at two-thirds, as well as three very obscure dull flesh-coloured transverse lines, the first from one-third of the costa, becoming obsolete beneath, the second from the middle of the costa to the anal angle, very strongly angulated in the middle, the third from three-fourths of the costa to the anal angle, strongly curved above the middle. There is a row of well-defined dark fuscous dots along the hindmargin and apical part of the costa. The hindwings are grey whitish.[2]
