The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous, on the costa posteriorly sprinkled dark grey, the dorsal area broadly suffused silvery-whitish and with a moderate shining white costal streak from the base to the middle, then leaving the costa and continued narrowed to four-fifths, where it receives an oblique white strigula from the costa at three-fifths. Beneath this are three short longitudinal white lines in the disc from the middle, the uppermost running into the costal streak, some white irroration beyond these. There is a spot of whitish suffusion on the tornus, followed by some dark grey irroration. The hindwings are grey-whitish.[2]
