The wingspan is 25–28 mm. The forewings are whitish densely irrorated with grey, and with some blackish scales. There is a well-marked irregular streak from the base of the costa along the fold to beyond the middle of the disc, immediately beyond this is a circular brownish spot in the disc at two-thirds, edged posteriorly with blackish and an oblique interrupted line from the costa at one-fourth to the central streak, as well as another more obscure from the costa at two-fifths. There is a circularly curved row of blackish dots in the disc beyond the brownish spot. The hindwings are dark-grey. [2]
