The wingspan is 28–34 mm. The forewings are pale-grey, with purple reflections and some dark-ochreous irroration. There is a pale linear discal mark, succeeded by a dark-ochreous suffusion, as well as a pale line from the costa outwards nearly to the termen, then bent to the dorsum. The disc beyond this is dark-ochreous and there is a fine white terminal line. The hindwings are pale-grey, but whitish towards the base.[3]
