The length of the forewings is 11-13 mm for males and 11-14.5 mm for females. The ground colour, fringe and costa are white, the forewings with buff lunulate postmedial and subterminal fasciae. There is a row of buff spots edged in dark brown immediately proximal to the postmedial fascia. There is also a row of dark brown or black terminal spots. The hindwings are as the forewings.
