The wingspan is 28–29 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous, irrorated with white beneath the costa. There is a black median streak from the base of the costa to the disc, margined with clear yellowish-ochreous. The first line has the form of a sharply-defined black streak, margined with clear yellowish-ochreous. The second line is represented by a row of black dots and there is a terminal row of black dots. The hindwings are very pale ochreous-grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in January.
