The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish, irregularly sprinkled grey and with a small blackish mark on the costa at one-fifth, where a very oblique series of three cloudy blackish-grey dots meets, in the disc, a double incurved blackish-grey line terminating on the dorsum at one-third. A second blackish mark is found on the costa before the middle, where a very oblique series of four dots meets in the disc a rather incurved line running to near the dorsum at four-fifths, preceded by two or three blackish-grey marks near the dorsum, and a blackish annulus in the disc open beneath and connected with the preceding line by a streak of blackish-grey suffusion. There is also a suffused dark grey excurved shade from a triangular costal spot at two-thirds to the dorsum before the tornus, and another darker but less thick between this and the termen. A marginal series of dark grey marks is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
