The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are pale creamy, lightly sprinkled with smoky. There are traces of pale flesh-colored (the idealized color of the skin of a white person in 1949) shadings in the basal and subterminal areas. The hindwings are similar in color to the forewings, with faint a discal dot and curved postmedian and subterminal smoky cross lines. The terminal area is somewhat darker shaded than the remainder of the wing.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from May to July.
