The length of the forewings is 22–24 mm. It is immediately distinguishable from all other Temnora species by the pale grey forewing upperside crossed by a pattern of dark brown transverse lines and with a characteristic pair of black triangular marginal spots. The forewing outer margin is crenulated.
