The wingspan is 15–17 mm (0.59–0.67 in). The forewings are pale yellow, sometimes with a small fuscous basal fascia. The terminal area, bounded by a straight line from two-fifths the costa to the mid-dorsum is pale fuscous, but this may be more or less suffused with pale yellow on the costa and before the termen. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
