The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are fuscous, irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with grey whitish and with a black longitudinal strigula edged beneath with ochreous yellowish towards the costa near the base. There is a small black trapezoidal spot on the middle of the costa, edged beneath with yellowish. A black longitudinal strigula is found beneath this in the disc, and one towards the costa obliquely before it, both edged beneath with yellowish. There is also an ochreous-yellow spot above the middle of the dorsum, edged above with black, as well as a black strigula on the fold near the tornus. The second discal stigma is small and blackish and there is a fine interrupted dark fuscous line from beyond this to the termen beneath the apex. The hindwings are grey, with the veins darker.[3]
