The wingspan is 10–12 mm. The forewings are sordid whitish, the scales tipped with fuscous. The basal patch is broadly edged with dark brown outwardly. From the basal third of the costa a dark brown oblique band extends to slightly beyond the fold and beyond this, in the cell, is a small fuscous spot followed by another at the end of cell. The outer half of the wing is overlaid with brownish ochreous. The apical half of the costa and termen are edged with fuscous, the line broken by a series of pale carmine spots. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
