The wingspan is about 13.5 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous with a black dot at the base of the costa and a conspicuous black dot in the disc before the middle, a second in the disc beyond the middle, a third on the fold beyond the first and a fourth below and rather beyond the second. There is a row of black dots on the hindmargin. The hindwings are grey.[3]
