The wingspan is about 27 mm.[3] Adults are pale fawn-colour, the hindwings pale yellow anteriorly. There are two oblique dark brown lines crossing both wings, between which are three small whate discal spots. There is a pale submarginal line and the exterior border of both wings is defined by a brown line.[4]
