The wingspan is about 9 mm. The forewings are whitish sparsely irrorated with fuscous and with an ochreous streak irrorated with fuscous on the costa from the middle to three-fourths, giving off at its extremity a transverse fascia to the tornus, interrupted in the middle. There is also an ochreous terminal line and the terminal edge is irrorated with blackish. A blackish dot is found at the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
