The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous, along the costa pale ochreous, towards the dorsum infuscated, especially anteriorly. The second discal stigma is rather large and dark fuscous. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled towards the base and with a subdorsal groove filled with long hairs.
