The wingspan is 24-25 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, with the veins more or less strongly streaked fuscous, tending to obsolescence towards the costa and sometimes towards the termen and there is a short very oblique fuscous streak from the costa near the base. There is a suffused dark fuscous subquadrate blotch on the middle of the dorsum. An obtusely angulated greyish shade is found from beyond the middle of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum more or less indicated, the ground colour is sometimes tinged grey between the neural streaks posteriorly, and there is an undefiĀned blotch of grey suffusion occupying the basal half of veins 3-7. The hindwings are grey.
