The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are ochreous yellow, rather deeper towards the base. The stigmata are black, the plical minute, obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a pre-marginal series of small grey dots around the apex and termen to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are whitish ochreous.[3]
