The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous, ferruginous-tinged sometimes suffused with rather dark fuscous on the dorsal half anteriorly and on the veins posteriorly. The stigmata is ferruginous-ochreous with some dark fuscous scales, partially edged with whitish, the plical elongate, dash-like, rather before the first discal.
