The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are fuscous, greyer towards the costa anteriorly. The plical and second discal stigmata are sometimes obscurely indicated. There is a thick blackish streak along the costa from before the middle to near the apex attenuated anteriorly, cut by a very oblique fine white strigula from beyond the middle. There is also a fine white subterminal line from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, acutely angulated in the middle and nearly reaching the termen beneath the apex, both portions curved inwards, the angle just cut by a fine black dash preceding it. The terminal space beyond this is irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish, the apical edge ochreous whitish. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
