The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are pinky whitish, with the costal and terminal edge pale rosy and with a blackish dot in the middle of the base, three (subcostal, median, subdorsal) in a curved series near the base, one beneath the costa at one-fourth and one obliquely beyond this, and three representing the stigmata (the plical obliquely beyond the first discal). There are two strongly and irregularly curved series of ill-defined blackish-grey dots or scattered scales, the first from before the middle of the costa passing beyond the cell to the dorsum beyond the middle, the second from three-fifths or two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a marginal series of black dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale whitish yellowish.[2]
