The wingspan is 17–20 mm (0.67–0.79 in). The forewings are brownish ochreous, sprinkled with ferruginous-brown strigulae and with the base dark fuscous. The costal edge is partially suffused with dark ferruginous brown and there is a ferruginous-brown slightly oblique fascia from the middle of the dorsum extending three-fourths of the way across the wing, with the posterior edge undefined. The apex includes an elongate rather dark fuscous spot and there is a slightly oblique transverse ferruginous-brown mark on the end of the cell, as well as blackish marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
