The wingspan is 9-12 mm. The forewings are fuscous slightly speckled whitish, or sometimes light ochreous suffusedly mixed white and speckled fuscous, with some scattered dark fuscous scales. There is a triangular black costal blotch before the middle, reaching to the fold. The second discal stigma is very small and black. The hindwings are grey.[3]
