The wingspan is 13–18 mm. The forewings are light fuscous or greyish ochreous with a dark fuscous dot on the base of the costa. The stigmata are very small and dark fuscous, the discal stigmata approximated, separated by one-fifth of the wing, the plical beneath the first discal. There is an almost marginal series of indistinct dark fuscous dots along the posterior part of the costa and tornus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
