The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous or whitish ochreous with a thick black finely whitish-speckled costal streak from the base to three-fourths, occupying nearly half of wing, its lower edge with prominences before the middle of the wing and near the extremity probably indicating the discal stigmata. There is some black irroration (sprinkles) along the upper part of the termen to the apex. The hindwings are grey.[2]
