The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are rather light brown, near the dorsum faintly rosy tinged. There is an oblique white fascia at one-fourth, slightly sprinkled with grey, anteriorly edged with blackish. There is also a moderate white grey-sprinkled median fascia, with the outer edge convex, and with a black dot in the middle, the inner acutely indented in the middle, the space between this and the preceding fascia blackish from the costa to the fold. Beyond this is a blackish costal blotch extending to a white spot at three-fourths, grey sprinkled beneath and imperfectly separated by an elongate blackish spot in the disc from a cloudy whitish erect spot on the tornus. There is some dark grey costal suffusion between this and the apex. The hindwings are grey.[3]
