The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are shining white with a narrow blackish streak along the costa from the base to the middle and an irregular dark violet-grey streak along the termen, the lower portion dilated and margined anteriorly by a leaden-metallic black-edged mark. The hindwings are whitish-grey, more whitish towards the base.
