This species has a wingspan of about 22 mm.[1] The forewings are whitish grey, the markings dark grey mixed with blackish. There is a mark on the base of the costa and a transverse fascia of irregular strigulation or marbling at one-third, where a bar runs below the middle to the base, and another bar in the middle to a large irregular patch of similar marbling occupying nearly the apical third of the wing and partially suffused brownish. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
