The wingspan is 17.5-20 mm for males and 19-22 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are white, the forewings with the costa dark yellowish brown at the base, the remainder buff. The basal fasciae pale grey, consisting of sub-basal, antemedial and medial fasciae, double postmedial fascia and subterminal fascia.
