The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with the extreme costal edge ochreous whitish and with a suffused indistinct darker fuscous mark on the transverse vein. There is a very small ochreous-whitish triangular spot on the costa near the apex. The hindwings of the males are fuscous, darker posteriorly, towards the base thinly scaled, with broad hyaline (glass-like) median and subdorsal streaks from the base to about three-fourths. In females, the hindwings are dark fuscous, on the basal half thinly scaled with broad median and subdorsal streaks. These are subhyaline and mixed with whitish.[2]
