The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are reddish brown, profusely dusted with whitish cinereous, which is especially concentrated around the margins of a large, somewhat triangular, brown costal patch before the middle, reaching nearly to the fold, on which is a small spot of the same colour, a less conspicuous discal spot lying above and beyond it. A small pale cinereous spot occurs on the costa at three-fourths from the base. The hindwings are shining, pale bone-grey, dusted at the apex on the underside.[3]
