The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are silvery white with a fuscous costa, a fuscous spot at the basal trisection and fuscous spots at the upper and lower angles of the cell. There is a fuscous antemedial line from the lower angle of the cell to the middle of the inner margin. The postmedial and marginal lines are also fuscous. The hindwings are white with fuscous antemedial, postmedial and marginal lines.
