The wingspan is about 38 mm. Adults are grey-brown with a leaden gloss, the forewings glossy grey-brown with a dark discoidal bar. The postmedial line is indistinct and brown, faintly defined on the outer side by whitish, excurved and very slightly waved from vein 6 to 2, then retracted to below the angle of the cell and erect to the inner margin. The hindwings are glossy grey-brown.[2]
