The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are pale fawn, profusely sprinkled throughout with a darker or more fuscous shade of the same. Three darker spots are faintly indicated, one on the cell at one-fifth from the base, another before the middle, reaching from the cell to the fold, and a third at the end of the cell. The hindwings are brownish grey, rather coarsely scaled in males.[2]
