The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are very pale grey with sparse irroration of slightly darker scales. There are a few raised blackish scales about the middle of the disc and an elongate blotch from the base reaching the costa beyond the first prominence, thence broad, narrowing to a point at the commencement of the second prominence. This blotch is bright green, broadly edged with fuscous. There is also a broad fuscous line along the costa and termen throughout. The hindwings are pale grey tinged with green.[2]
