The wingspan is about 15 mm for males and 18 mm for females. The forewings are white, with scattered grey specks and with the markings light yellowish-grey, sprinkled with dark fuscous specks and with an oblique line from the base of the costa, reaching half across the wing. Three cloudy irregular somewhat interrupted lines run from blackish-grey spots on the costa, the first from one-fourth of the costa to two-fifths of the dorsum, curved, the second from before the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum, forming a broad rectangular loop outwards in the disc, the third from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, curved outwards on the upper half. There is a small tuft on the fold representing the plical stigma, and a transverse tuft on the end of the cell within the loop of the second line. There is a curved series of small cloudy spots near the apical and terminal margin and a marginal series of lunulate dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
