The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are white, sprinkled with light ochreous-brown except along the costa, the dorsal half tinged whitish-ochreous, the dorsal area beneath the fold more thickly irrorated with light brown. The plical and second discal stigmata form small brown spots and there is a thick inwards-oblique brown streak from the dorsum at two-thirds nearly to the middle of the disc, rather expanded on the dorsum. A marginal series of brown dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-grey-ochreous.[2]
