The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are grey irrorated dark grey with a trapezoidal basal blotch occupying the dorsal half to one-fourth, with its upper posterior angle acutely prominent on the fold to the middle, and a subcostal streak to near one-third confluent, with this at the base bronzy-ochreous. There is a small obscure spot of darker grey suffusion representing the second discal stigma and a suffused white spot on the costa at three-fourths. The hindwings are grey.[3]
