The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are whitish, irrorated with reddish scales, which form numerous confused longitudinal streaks, a reddish-fuscous dot in the disc before the middle, a second beyond the middle, and a third on the fold beneath the first. There is a series of reddish-fuscous dots on the apical third of the costa and hindmargin. The hindwings are grey.[2]
