The length of the forewings is 4.2-4.8 mm. The forewings are deep dark brown, with small white patches on the costa at one-fifth and the middle, and sometimes on the midline at the apex. There is a larger patch at four-fifths. The hindwings are brownish grey. Adults are on wing from February to May and in October.
