The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are buff, streaked and spotted with fuscous and the base of the wing is blackish fuscous except for a streak of ground color inside the costa. There is a blackish-fuscous blotch in the middle of the cell and a similarly colored crescentic blotch at the end of the cell. A blackish-fuscous streak is found at two-thirds of the costa and from the costa, well before apex, an irregular, transverse fuscous line extends to the termen, then along the termen to the tornus.
