The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are white with three suffused blotches of fuscous irroration, sprinkled with black specks, occupying most of the disc from near the base to near the apex, separated only by curved white streaks, the first blotch extending below the fold and indistinctly to the costa, the second extended anteriorly to the costa at two-fifths and limited beneath by the fold, the third resting on the tornus and not reaching the costa. There is some slight dark fuscous irroration towards the middle of the dorsum and a narrow yellow-ochreous apical fascia attenuated downwards to the middle of the termen, the edged anteriorly with some dark fuscous irroration. The hindwings are grey.
