The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous, the veins streaked whitish-ochreous and more or less strongly edged with dark fuscous irroration. There is a black dot beneath the costa at one-fifth, one beneath the fold below this, and one above the fold rather posterior. The stigmata are black, the plical slightly before the first discal. The hindwings are pale grey.
