The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are white thinly speckled dark fuscous and with the markings fuscous suffusedly irrorated black. There is a strigula from the costa near the base, and a small dot beneath it. There are spots on the costa at one-fourth, the middle, and three-fourths, the first small, sending a somewhat curved series of small greyish indistinct spots below the middle to near the dorsum at two-fifths, the second scarcely larger, the third moderately large, from behind the second discal white ridge-tuft a rather broad fasciate streak of suffusion running to the dorsum before the tornus and uniting in the disc with a slightly curved shade from the third costal spot. There is also a curved interrupted subterminal shade and a marginal series of dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
