The wingspan is about 11.5 mm. The forewings are short, relatively narrow and beige. The postmedial line is suffused with many brown scales on the distal side. There are blackish-brown patches basally on the costa and also in the upper medial and terminal areas. The crosslines are weakly marked and light brown. The terminal line is indicated by black-brown interveinal dots. The hindwing ground colour is grey with a well-marked discal spot.
