The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are dark grey, with the bases of the scales whitish and with a narrow irregular blackish basal fascia. There is a whitish-yellowish streak formed of three confluent subtriangular spots extending along the dorsum from this to near the tornus, connected with a crescentic posteriorly convex whitish-yellowish mark in the disc at three-fifths, marked in concavity with a black dot. There are three black slenderly white-edged fasciae from the costa terminated by this streak, the first at one-sixth, slender, little oblique, the second at one-third, moderate, rather more oblique, mostly brown in the disc and with a discal projection posteriorly, these two cut by a fine light brown longitudinal streak above the middle, the third at three-fifths, broader on the costa, in the disc with an acute projection posteriorly, mostly occupied anteriorly by the yellowish discal mark. There is also a blackish spot on the apical portion of the costa, containing two minute white dots, and separated from the preceding by a grey-whitish spot. A brown streak is found along the termen, containing three or four minute white dots in a fine blackish marginal line. The hindwings are grey, somewhat darker posteriorly.
