The wingspan is about 21 mm (0.83 in). The forewings are dark brown-grey with the stigmata dark fuscous, each followed by a minute pale dot, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, the second discal transverse. There is a series of pale dots along the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are fuscous with a terminal series of pale dots.[2]
