The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are light brownish ochreous irregularly mixed with dark fuscous and with a dark bluish-fuscous spot on the base of the costa. The dorsum is narrowly suffused with dark fuscous and there is a suffused dark fuscous transverse fascia before the middle. The posterior two-fifths is wholly dark fuscous except a pale brownish-ochreous spot on the costa at four-fifths and a dot on the tornus opposite. The hindwings are grey.
