The length of the forewings is 13-14.5 mm for males and 14–16 mm for females. The forewings are white, but the costa is buff. There is a double lunulate postmedial, a single lunulate subterminal and dotted terminal fasciae which are buff or brown and often very faint. The hindwings are as the forewings, but the costa is white.[2]
