The length of the forewings is 7.5–8 mm. The forewings are densely covered with uniform brownish grey scales and there is a broad orange white band from the base to the apex along the costa, as well as a large dark-brown discal spot at the end of the cell. There are dark-brownish small spots along the termen and the costa is nearly straight, dark brown for one-fourth the length anteriorly.
Etymology
The species name refers to the orange white band on the costa and is derived from Latin gilvus (meaning pale yellow or orange white).[1]
