The wingspan is 24–28 mm. The forewings are brownish-grey, sprinkled with whitish and the veins marked with partially interrupted fine black lines. There is an indistinct cloudy whitish suffusion forming an undefined patch towards the base, a spot in the middle of the disc followed by a roundish darker grey spot margined with black beneath, and an irregular outwards-curved fascia from three-fourths of the costa to the inner margin before the anal angle, indented towards near both extremities. The hindwings are fuscous, lighter towards the base and the hindmargin is darker.[2]
