The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are light straw yellow, sparsely sprinkled with dark brown atoms, with a blackish brown round dot on the middle of the cell, another similar dot at the end of the cell and a more or less complete series of blackish-brown dots along the terminal edge of the wing.
