The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly sprinkled grey, clouded grey on the dorsal half and towards the termen. There is a narrow curved dark grey fascia at one-third, not reaching the dorsum, containing light oohreous-yellowish tufts beneath the costa and beneath the fold. The discal stigmata are pale yellowish, surrounded by light grey clouds and there is a dark grey spot on the middle of the costa and four or five small costal spots posteriorly. The hindwings are whitish-grey, suffused grey towards the apex.[2]
