The wingspan is about 35 mm for males and 47 mm for females. The forewings are whitish, irrorated with grey. There is an oblique fuscous bar from the base of the costa to the fold and an oblique oval median discal spot outlined with fuscous scales, the centre whitish-ochreous. A few fuscous scales are found in the disc at one-third before this. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.
