The length of the forewings is 4–5 mm. The forewings are covered with grey, brown-tipped scales, mottled by ochreous along the veins. There are small dark spots about one-third near the costal margin, a distinct black spot surrounded by ochreous scales in the cell and two black spots at one-third and two-thirds near the posterior margin.
