The wingspan is 17.5–20 mm for males and 19–22 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are white, the forewings with the costa dark yellowish brown at the base, the remainder buff. The basal fasciae pale grey, consisting of sub-basal, antemedial and medial fasciae, double postmedial fascia and subterminal fascia. There is a conspicuous white area between the medial and postmedial fasciae and the area between the antemedial and medial fasciae is often speckled with grey. The hindwings are as the forewings, but with distal line of the double postmedial fascia less well marked.[2]
