The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are deep ochreous yellow, with a streak of dark fuscous irroration (sprinkling) along the basal third of the costa. The stigmata is blackish and the plical is found before the first discal and there is an additional dot beneath the second discal, as well as a spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the middle of the costa, reaching the second discal stigma.
