The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, much sprinkled and smeared with smoky fuscous. In addition to some general irroration, a costal shade, extending from one-fifth to beyond the middle, is followed by another costal patch, or shade, before the apex, from which arises, on its outer side, a series of fuscous spots, continued around the apex and termen, and from its lower edge a second series, more or less confluent, bowed outward and reverting to the dorsum about the tornus; there are two dark shade-patches also on the dorsum, one before and one beyond the middle, other scattered dark scaling extending across the cell. The hindwings are rather shining, greyish fuscous.[2]
