The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are white with a dark grey subtriangular submedian fascia not reaching the dorsum. There is a small median patch on the costa, as well as a triangular pre-apical patch on the costa. This patch is connected to the tornal patch. Beyond these patches, the wing is irrorated with yellowish scales and a black spot is found near the apex. The hindwings are grey.[2]
