The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are white, suffusedly irrorated fuscous except towards the costa. The plical and second discal stigmata are indistinct and dark fuscous and there are semi-oval dark fuscous blotches on the costa at the middle and three-fourths. From beyond the second of these, a sinuate white fascia runs to the tornus and there is a dark fuscous marginal line around the apex and termen, marked with indistinct blackish dots. The hindwings are grey, with a darker terminal line.[2]
