The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are ocherous white to white with the base of the costa fuscous. At the apical third of the costa is a fuscous spot and in the middle of the cell is an oblique fuscous dash and a spot of the same color at the end of the cell. At the middle, dorsally, is a fuscous suffusion and a shade of similar color around the termen. The hindwings are white, pale buff distally.[2]
