The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are light reddish gray, minutely dusted with dark purplish-fuscous scales. Near the base is an inconspicuous, small, dark, bronzy-brown, costal dot. At the basal third is a large transverse dark bronzy-brown costal spot, reaching down across the fold. At about the apical third is a smaller concolorous costal spot and the tip of the wing has the dark scales collected into ill-defined transverse spots or streaks. The hindwings are shining, dark fuscous.[3]
