The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are rather light fuscous with a patch of dark fuscous suffusion occupying the basal third of the wing on the dorsal half, extended at the base to the costa, and as a dark fuscous line on the fold nearly to the middle of the wing. There is a narrow slightly curved suffused dark fuscous fascia from the middle of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus and a faint curved darker shade from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus. There is also an obscurely interrupted dark fuscous line around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
