The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are ochreous whitish irregularly streaked longitudinally with brown suffusion and dark fuscous sprinkles, and with a stronger blackish streak along the fold. There are short very oblique dark fuscous streaks from the costa at the base and before and beyond one-fourth. The plical stigma is represented by a segment of blackish, the plical streak cut off by white marks, the discal stigmata by a dark fuscous streak with the anterior extremity cut off by white, and posterior nearly encircled by a white ring. There is a fine whitish very oblique striga from the costa at three-fourths and some minute white dots round the posterior part of the costa and termen. The termen is blackish between these. The hindwings are light slaty grey. [4]
