The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are white with two blackish dots transversely placed on the end of the cell and a grey quadrate blotch extending from these to the termen and reaching the dorsum but not the costa, becoming dark grey towards the termen, and crossed anteriorly by a faint whitish shade and posteriorly by a fine white line denticulate towards the tornus. The hindwings are white, suffused with light grey on the apical third and with a long whitish subcostal hair-pencil lying beneath the forewings.[2]
