The wingspan is about 13 mm (0.51 in). The forewings are grey with an obscure dark fuscous dot in the disc at one-fourth. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the first discal forming a strong oblique mark, the second a transverse crescentic mark, the plical spot is a dot beneath the first discal. There is an obscure ochreous-whitish slightly curved and waved subterminal line, posteriorly edged with darker suffusion. There is also a marginal series of blackish crescentic dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[3]
