The wingspan is 18–21 mm. The forewings are grey, sometimes brownish-tinged in the disc, closely speckled white, more or less irrorated dark grey or blackish, in females sometimes more or less suffused white. The upper and posterior margins of the cell are more or less marked with blackish, and veins 6 and 7 are marked with black lines except towards the apex. There is a faint acutely angulated whitish shade traversing the wing from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus and there is a small black apical dot preceded by brownish-ochreous suffusion on the costa. The hindwings are grey.^[3]
