The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are white, with some scattered blackish-grey specks, the dorsal two-fifths suffused light ochreous-grey and the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base. The stigmata form reddish-brown spots more or less mixed dark fuscous, the first discal at one-fourth, the second transverse, the plical elongate, nearly midway between these. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.[2]
