The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish, irrorated (speckled) with small black spots, more or less arranged in transverse series, becoming more dense on the margins, leaving a basal patch of ground colour much whiter. There is an obscure elongate, somewhat cuneiform (wedge-shaped) spot of black, from the costa to the apex, reaching more than half across wing. The hindwings are fuscous, somewhat bronzy.[2]
