The length of the forewings is 7–8.7 mm (0.28–0.34 in).

The ground color of the hindwings is white, becoming pale brownish toward the margins. Adults are on wing in February and March (in Jamaica), in April, May and July (in Puerto Rico) and in November and December (in Cuba). There are multiple generations per year. [2]
